The Progressive Labour Party said today it was pleased to welcome Jamahl Simmons to its parliamentary team as the Member of Parliament for Constituency 33, Sandys South.

A statement from the Opposition added: “We are confident that Jamahl will play an integral role in our team in both the House of Assembly and in the community.

“We thank the constituents of Sandys South for a decisive victory, which increased the PLP’s vote percentage from the 2012 General Election. The people of Sandys South have sent a clear message to the One Bermuda Alliance: that Bermudians need to come first in our country and that, while we encourage investment in Bermuda, we must ensure that opportunities exist for all Bermudians; not just a select few.”
