From Jamaica Debates Commission

KINGSTON, August 24, 2020: The Opposition Peoples National Party (PNP) has advised the Jamaica Debates Commission that its team for Tuesday night’s Social Issues Debate has been changed. The 3-person team will now comprise Dayton Campbell, Lisa Hanna and Raymond Price. The Jamaica Labour Party team for the event is unchanged from Christopher Tufton, Kamina Johnson-Smith and Floyd Green

According to PNP sources, the party was making the changes “out of an abundance of caution” as two members of the previously announced team may have become exposed to COVID-19.

The JDC-organized debate on Social Issues will be staged at the Creative Production & Training Centre beginning at 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday August 25. The other two debates in the 2020 series will be staged on Thursday August 27 (Economic Issues pitting the Jamaica Labour Party’s Nigel Clarke against the PNP’s Mark Golding), while the culminating Leaders’ Debate between Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Opposition Leader Peter Phillips, will take place on Saturday August 27.
