KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – The main opposition People’s National Party (PNP)Wednesday paid tribute to its councilor candidate for the Friendship Division, Western Westmoreland, the westernmost parish in Jamaica on the south side of the island, who died at a hospital after collapsing at an event earlier.

Maxine Salabie was delivering a speech at an event held at the Hotel Commingle in Savanna-La-Mar when she requested to be excused due to not feeling well. Shortly after leaving, she reportedly collapsed and was swiftly transported to the hospital, where she later died.

The PNP is “deeply saddened and shocked to announce the passing of Comrade Maxine Salabie, our councilor candidate for the Friendship Division, Western Westmoreland.”

Salabie’s death comes just months after she assumed the position, replacing Tyrone Guthrie, the previous PNP councilor caretaker who is facing charges related to the forcible abduction and rape of a 16-year-old.
