The People's Political Party (PPP) was Jamaica's first modern political party.
[1] The PPP set out a 14 point manifesto—the first of its kind in the island's electoral history.
The points contained in the PPP's manifesto were far-reaching and perceptive as illustrated by a few of them, such as: The PPP contested the 1962 elections, receiving 0.9% of the vote and failing to win a seat.
