Member of Parliament for St Andrew West Rural Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn is urging Jamaicans to reject Opposition Leader Mark Golding's bid to become prime minister of Jamaica.

Speaking at the Jamaica Labour Party's conference moments ago, she said her party leader, Andrew Holness, is from "humble beginnings" who cares about Jamaicans, while Golding, the People's National Party president is boastful and disrespectful of black Jamaicans.

"Our leader is strong, our leader is active, our leader is about serving your interest," she told the conference. "But there's another man called Markie British and he is a man who believes in holding chains around the neck of black people, an a nuh me seh so, a him a tek picha a hold chain roun di Rasta man neck."

Cuthbert-Flynn continued: "We have to say no to Markie British because he's a man who luv fi show off, him luv fi boast and seh him done rich already, we don't need a man like that. We have to say no to the man that is leading the PNP who luv fi style black people and call dem likkle bwoy and likkle lady, we have to say no to the man who tell us out of his own mouth that him want to run Jamaica."
