There’s a flurry of political activities slated for this weekend, especially among the two major parties.

From major meetings, spot meetings, canvassing to ensure that citizens are registered to vote, to trying to persuade the undecided, the political aspirants to the next Parliament will be out and about.

While some constituency offices and branch offices were quiet during the week, many workers there reported that today and tomorrow would be heavy work days.

In the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) camp, City candidate Henderson Williams will be part of the City Development Foundation and YWCA youth rally today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Queen’s Park. There will be special appearances by popular artists including Mikey.

Later today, in Christ Church East Central, there is a 7 p.m. community rally at Lodge Road featuring candidate Ronald Jones, with the guest speaker being Rodney Grant, the candidate for St Michael South East.

The official opening of the St Joseph constituency office of candidate Dennis Holder at 110 Blackmans Development, St Joseph, also takes place tomorrow at 4:30 p.m., with speakers Denis Kellman, Irene Sandiford-Garner, Ronald Jones.
