Former Member of Parliament and Government Minister Dean Peart has died.
Peart was also a former Mayor of Mandeville and served as a councillor.
In paying tribute, People’s National Party (PNP) president Mark Golding hailed Peart for his work and contributions to the country.
Peart served in several ministries under the PNP and was the MP for Manchester North Western for over two decades.
"For 22 years, Deanie served his constituents with hard work and a devotion that set the standard for representational politics," Golding said in a statement on Sunday.
"His community centres, basic schools and scholarship fund stand as living monuments to his love for the people," he added.
Golding extended condolences to Peart's wife, Vynette, his children and the entire Peart family.
