Opposition Leader Mark Golding today announced a reshuffle of the Shadow Cabinet.

In a statement, Golding said the move is aimed at showcasing the diverse talent and extensive skill set present within the People's National Party.

The new Shadow Cabinet combines new faces to frontline politics alongside seasoned politicians.

Among the new faces are Wavell Hinds and Dr Alfred Dawes.

Golding said the Cabinet is ready to offer solutions to Jamaica's longstanding challenges.

“Each Shadow Minister will be supported by a team including deputies to be named at a later date, and their Junior Shadow Cabinet counterparts. Shadow Cabinet positions provide an opportunity for team members to contribute and gain exposure, without burdening taxpayers,” he said.

The opposition leader thanked those who served in the previous Shadow Cabinet and will not be offering themselves in the next election.
