Prime Minister Andrew Holness has declared that Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) workers are ready for the upcoming General Elections, but stated that the organisation still has some work to do.

Amid that admission, Holness declared that the governing party will not "back down" from attaining a third term in office, arguing that it has earned another election victory based on its performance in office.

General Elections are due by September of this year, and speculation is rife that the polls could be held during the summer holiday.

In addressing a party meeting in North Eastern St Elizabeth on Friday night, Holness expressed confidence in the party's chances at the polls, citing the need for a third consecutive term to consolidate the country's progress.

"We (the JLP) are not going to back down. In fact, the sense I get as I walk into this room, is that unuh ready," Holness told the jubilant labourites.
