‘FABULOUS’ as he is affectionately known, given his infectious and flamboyant personality has made a significant impact in Montserrat’s political and social landscape.

Jermaine’s political journey began early when he was elected as the youngest member of the Legislative Assembly at age 24. His leadership potential was honed through various regional roles, including serving as a CARICOM Youth Ambassador, United Nations Global Youth Spokesperson, Vice President of the National Youth Council, President of the Rotaract Club, and Chief Minister in the National Youth Parliament.

Following a challenging period in the 2014 elections and the resignation of his mentor, Rueben T.

He co-founded the Montserrat United Labour Party (MULP) in 2017 and campaigned in the 2019 General Elections, driven by his unyielding dedication to service and representation.
