Neil Powell

Neil Powell is a Jamaican businessman and politician who recently won the selection contest to represent the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) in the St Catherine North Central constituency. Formerly a councillor for the Above Rocks division, Powell secured his position with a decisive victory over businessman Paul Brown, garnering 73 votes compared to Brown's 52. This victory follows a narrow loss in the local government elections earlier in the year, where he was defeated by just 11 votes. Powell is now set to challenge the incumbent member of parliament, Natalie Neita Garvey, in the upcoming general election, aiming to unseat her after she has held the position since 2007.
