Jamaican local government election, 2012 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jamaican local government election, 2012 The 2012 Jamaican Local Government Election was held on 26 March 2012 in Jamaica.〔http://rjrnewsonline.com/news/local/local-government-elections-march-26〕 Directly elected were 228 divisional councillors and the mayor of the municipality of Portmore. Each of the 13 parish councils and parish capital mayoral positions were allocated to a political party. The election was contested mainly between Jamaica's two major political parties, the Portia Simpson-Miller-led People's National Party (PNP), which currently forms Jamaica's government, and the Andrew Holness-led Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), the opposition. Councillor candidates are nominated by political parties in the electoral divisions and are voted on and directly elected by the electorate. The mayor of Portmore is also directly elected. Control of the parish councils depends on the party which controls the majority of the divisions within the parish. The post of mayor of the capital town of the parish is awarded to the party which controls the parish council. The party will then appoint one of its councillors in the parish to be mayor of the town. In the case that neither party holds a majority in a parish council, an elected independent or third party candidate will make the decision of which of the tied political parties should be awarded the mayorship of the capital of the parish. In the case that no independent or third party candidates were elected, the mayorship will be dependent on which party received the higher popular vote in the parish. ==Background== With local government elections constitutionally due every three years, these elections were due on 5 December 2010.〔http://go-jamaica.com/news/read_article.php?id=25016〕〔http://go-jamaica.com/news/read_article.php?id=26355〕 The elections were delayed several times before finally being called by the newly elected PNP government. These elections followed the 2011 general elections in which the PNP was returned to governance.
