Quincy Jones has formally accepted the nomination to represent the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) in the Christ Church East Central constituency for the upcoming general election.  

He will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of his father, former Minister of Education Ronald Jones, who represented the constituency from 2008 to 2018. 

The announcement was made today during a meeting at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition Ralph Thorne KC, at the Thomas Daniel Building, Bridgetown.

Jones thanked party members, family, friends, and supporters for their confidence in his candidacy.

“Thank you for trusting my vision and for standing with me on this journey to lift our beloved community,” he said.

Jones told the audience that his decision to run was driven by a deep connection to the constituency.

“Christ Church East Central is not just where we live. It is our home,” he said. “This is not just another campaign. This is a movement. This is a calling.”

He promised to focus on improving schools, creating jobs for young people, empowering small businesses, and strengthening community safety.

“I will be your voice, your advocate, and your partner,” he pledged.

Jones also paid tribute to the former DLP candidates who previously served the area, stating: “I honour their contributions and I build upon the foundations they have laid with deep respect and humility.”
