Member of Parliament for North Trelawny, the Jamaica Labour Party’s, JLP, Tova Hamilton, is dismissing claims that she has been a distant and ineffective leader in her constituency.
This amid claims that her so-called dictatorship attitude will cause her to lose the seat in the next general elections.
But speaking with labourites at a recent JLP divisional conference, Ms Hamilton says her short stint as MP since 2020 far outweighs her predecessors.
Speculation began circulating earlier this year that the JLP’s hold on North Trelawny had weakened after a JLP activist blasted the MP for what he describes as her dismal performance.
In a tell-all interview with Nationwide News in January, the activist, Eric Wint, says Ms Hamilton has had a string of bad relationships with key JLP officials and operatives in the constituency.
He posited that her behaviour will ultimately see the constituency lost to the PNP.
But according to MP Hamilton, the JLP’s record of achievement in the constituency cannot be ignored.
