OPPOSITION Jamica Labour Party (JLP) Senator Alexander Williams is now set to take on People's National Party (PNP) first-time Member of Parliament (MP) Damion Crawford in East Rural St Andrew following his official presentation to the constituency at a party meeting at Papine High yesterday.

Williams who was recently given the new spokesperson portfolio of land and environment was introduced as the party's standard-bearer by party leader Andrew Holness who urged supporters to "invest in their new caretaker".
Crawford, against all odds, beat off a challenge from the JLP's Joan Gordon Wehby to take home the seat for the governing PNP in the last general election but yesterday Holness said Williams is an investment which will pay off.
"I am certain Alex will be an investment that will pay off in your life and in your children's life as well," he said.
Meanwhile, the new caretaker, in his first official address in that capacity, told supporters that in order to ensure everyone has a new way and a better life, a representative who is independent of party politics is needed.
"East Rural St Andrew needs proper representation. East Rural St Andrew needs someone who cares about JLP and PNP," Williams said. more
