PRESIDENT of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) youth affiliate Generation 2000 (G2K) Delano Seiveright has denied reports that he is to step down from his post in what is said to be a fallout from the JLP's defeat in the recently held general election.
Seiveright, who was re-elected to serve a third consecutive term in November, told the Observer yesterday that there was no truth to the report.
"All rumours," was all Seiveright was prepared to say when contacted.

The Jamaica Labour Party’s (JLP) young professional affiliate, Generation 2000 or G2K, has commissioned an extensive review of its role in the party’s failed campaign for re-election.
The JLP only managed to win 21 of the 63 seats in parliament.
The G2K has faced strong criticism for the tone of some of its campaign advertisements, comments by its president, Delano Seiveright, and its frequent spats with sections of the media.

THE YOUNG professional arm of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), Generation 2000 (G2K), has indicated a willingness to work with the People's National Party (PNP) to steer Jamaica through the difficult waters it is now navigating.
In congratulating the PNP on its electoral victory, G2K said it wished PNP President Portia Simpson Miller and her soon to be installed government much success in its leadership of the country's affairs.

WHY DID THE JLP LOSE?
Tue, 2012-01-03 11:38 | admin
The conventional wisdom is that a low voter turnout favours the incumbent. So why didn't one of the lowest voter turnouts in Jamaica's electoral history not favour the JLP?
The answer, I think, is fairly simple. The JLP lost because the deck was stacked against them ... using the 40,000 new voters that the PNP said they did not want to be disenfranchised.
Okay, but how exactly did the PNP use those 40,000 to stack the deck in its favour? The answer, again, is fairly simple. They did not use ALL 40,000 ... but they did use some selectively.
