In a statement, the PNP said the team of spokespersons and deputies has been tasked with providing oversight, holding the Government accountable, and presenting alternative policies aligned with the party’s vision for “a just, inclusive, and progressive Jamaica.”

Golding, who also serves as PNP president, described the group as a blend of “bright minds, experienced leaders, and energetic new voices” ready to serve the country. He emphasized that the Shadow Cabinet carries no cost to taxpayers.

“This is not about salaries or perks. Our Spokespersons serve without pay in these roles,” Golding said. “The Shadow Cabinet provides a platform for MPs to engage meaningfully on national issues and demonstrate their readiness to assume responsibility in a future government.”

According to the PNP, the Shadow Cabinet has been structured around four central pillars of national life: economic development, human development, physical development, and governance. The party said this framework will guide its approach to addressing Jamaica’s most urgent challenges while offering the public a clear view of its policy direction.
