The Central Executive is the party's second-highest decision-making body outside of its annual conference.
The body also formally confirmed the party's 63 representatives for the parliamentary election that is expected by September.
The JLP won 49 of the 63 seats in Parliament in the last general election in 2020 and is seeking to retain power for a third consecutive term. The main opposition is the People's National Party.
I understand the JLP is center-right, and the PNP is more left.
Any additional information you might want to add?

And dont forget the theft of some of Usain Bolts money.
There is a song about that getting AirPlay on the most popular radio station and the phrase bolt them out is catchy.
Add - it was easy for me to post that the election would be called tonight because the JLP are so afraid to call it that were very close to the Constitutional deadline so once they announced the meeting for tonight dat was dat. 😀
To create this chaos as parents are busy shopping for the new school year and as peak hurricane season approaches has pissed over more than a few people.
