Editor's note: The table above appeared in the Monday and Sunday Gleaner with the incorrect party standing for the JLP in May 2007. So we have carried the table today with the correct statistic.

A NEW campaign advertisement by the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) affiliate group, Generation 2000 (G2K), seems to have irked Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller.

The advertisement, which edited a clip of Mrs. Simpson Miller speaking on the platform and saying her government was "not changing no course", contains an image of government member Maxine Henry-Wilson apparently sleeping in Parliament. The advertisement also used the voices of ordinary Jamaicans to criticise the way in which the incumbent People's National Party (PNP) has governed the country for the past 18 years.

When Mrs. Simpson Miller addressed thousands of party supporters at a rally in Bog Walk, St. Catherine on Sunday evening, she said she was not surprised that the Opposition had targeted her.

"They will be coming at me," Mrs. Simpson Miller said, claiming she was not perturbed by the advertisements.

The PNP president said the party would be running clean campaigns but warned that, if the JLP continued to operate as it has, the PNP had material with which it could respond.
