A din of chants, party tunes, vuvuzelas and the rev of engines, motorbike and motorcar alike, bombarded Cross Roads, St Andrew, as supporters poured into the People's National Party's Kingston and St Andrew parish meeting on Saturday evening.
The supporters had much to say, most critical of the Andrew Holness-led government, but their common consensus was that "Time Come!"
"We tired a dis government. Too much young youth dying off under dis yah government. This party is not for the poor," chanted Karen Goulbourne, who had travelled from St Catherine for the event.
A heavy contingent of police officers have been deployed to the area.
Saturday's meeting is the PNP's last parish meeting on the campaign trail before nomination day, Monday, August 18.
The meeting was postponed after a schedule clash with the Jamaica Labour Party's Half-Way Tree mass rally last Sunday.
The meeting will see the presentation of the 14 candidates the PNP will field in the two parishes.
