The JLP leader confirmed the plan during a meeting of the party’s Central Executive on Saturday, where candidates were instructed to approach voters with humility and a commitment to addressing the issues affecting their communities.

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?
