Jerusalem Bread Foundation
The Jerusalem Bread Foundation was a minor political party in Jamaica.
History
The party was registered by Iduwagayliz Iuwakhidid Itsahyuwan on 7 August 2007 in order to contest the Western Hanover seat in the 2007 elections.[1] Itsahyuwan claimed that he decided to enter politics after "visions and dreams".[1] The party had only three members; Itsahyuwan, his wife and his mother,[2] and Itsahyuwan was the party's only candidate in the elections.[3]
However, the party received just nine votes and failed to win a seat.[4] It was speculated that the party might run again in the 2011 elections,[5] but it did not put forward any candidates.[6]
