The three candidates who won the recent by-elections were sworn in as Members of Parliament, at today’s (Nov 7) sitting of the House of Representatives.

The PNP’s Dr. Angella Brown Burke was the first to take to oath of allegiance.

Dr. Brown Burke is the new MP for ST. Andrew South West, replacing Dr. Portia Simpson Miller.

Next to take the oath was Mark Golding.

He has replaced Dr. Omar Davis as the MP for St. Andrew South.

Both Mr. Golding and Dr. Brown Burke recently resigned as members of the Senate, in order to take up their new positions in the lower house.

And, the JLP’s Dr. Norman Dunn also took his oath, as the new MP for South East St. Mary.

Dr. Dunn replaces the PNP’s  Dr. Winston Green who died in August.

Dr. Dunns victory increases the governing JLP’s majority by one seat, to now hold 33.

The opposition PNP now has 30 seats.
