Eric Wint is going after the Martha Brae Division in Trelawny Northern as an independent candidate after he was not selected by the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP).
Wint says he was putting in the work and was left disappointed when he was not made the party's standard-bearer.
“Up to two months ago I was slated to represent the Jamaica Labour Party in the Martha Brae Division," he declared while speaking at the nomination centre in Falmouth this morning.
"Member of Parliament Tova Hamilton brought me into the division to work on behalf of the party. Two months ago, she brought in her friend to replace me. I am angry with her as a person," said Wint.
He expressed confidence of victory.
Local government elections are to be held on February 26.
