Electors in the May Pen North Division in Clarendon are to go to the polls in a by-election on Friday, April 27.
Nomination Day is April 10.
Mayor of May Pen Winston Maragh made the announcement at the Clarendon Municipal Corporation on Tuesday morning.
The May Pen North Division was left vacant following the passing of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP’s) Melvin Jones on December 24 last year.
The JLP’s Tanya-Lee Williams will be running against the People‘s National Party (PNP’s) Vivian Allen in the April 27 polls.
The JLP’s Joel Williams, the councillor for the May Pen Central division told The Gleaner that his party will be taking no chances in what appears to be a safe seat.
“We don’t take anything for granted, campaigning for us is like we are campaigning for the first time,” he said.
The JLP now holds 13 divisions in the Clarendon Municipal Corporation to the PNP’s eight.
