Vybz Kartel Among Supporters at PNP Conference, Joins Forces with Isat Buchanan

Kingston, Jamaica — In a show of support that turned heads, dancehall star Vybz Kartel made waves at the People’s National Party (PNP) conference, alongside prominent attorney Isat Buchanan, on Sunday, September 15, 2024. The event, held in Kingston, brought together party faithful as the PNP geared up for what is expected to be a high-stakes general election campaign.

Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, has been a controversial figure due to his incarceration and recent release. However, his presence at the conference signaled his renewed focus on engaging with national politics. The PNP, led by Mark Golding, has been attracting a wide range of supporters, and Kartel’s appearance only served to bolster that image.

Isat Buchanan, who has long been associated with Kartel as his attorney, also made his support for the PNP clear. Buchanan has been vocal in his legal advocacy and has shown a consistent interest in social justice issues, making his alignment with the PNP a logical next step. Buchanan’s presence was seen as a significant boost for the party, further energizing supporters who view his legal expertise as crucial in the fight for reform and justice.

The conference saw speeches from PNP leaders, with a focus on economic development, social equality, and crime reduction. Kartel’s association with the event, however, was the highlight, with many in the crowd acknowledging his cultural influence on the youth.

Kartel has long been a cultural icon in Jamaica, with a fanbase that cuts across generations. His recent legal battles and subsequent release have kept him in the headlines, and now his active participation in political events raises questions about his future role in shaping public discourse.

The PNP has yet to officially comment on Kartel’s attendance, but his public appearance at such a high-profile event signals a potential new chapter in the entertainer’s journey, one that intertwines culture, politics, and activism.
