SANTA CRUZ, St Elizabeth - Only in 1980, when Edward Seaga's Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) swept to power by a massive landslide, has the People's National Party (PNP) lost the St Elizabeth North Eastern (NE) seat. The PNP boycotted the parliamentary elections of 1983. But since 1989, St Elizabeth North Eastern has stood as a bastion of PNP power in rural Jamaica.
