About Us
The Diplomatic Democratic Party (DDP): A New Dawn for Jamaica 🇯🇲
Jamaica has been waiting for a real alternative. After decades of broken promises, empty slogans, and recycled leadership from the same two political parties, the people are tired, tired of struggling, tired of waiting, and tired of being ignored. That’s why in December 2023, the Diplomatic Democratic Party (DDP) was born, not from greed or ambition, but out of the deep pain and frustration of the people, and the unshakable belief that Jamaica deserves better.
We are not the PNP.
We are not the JLP.
We are the DDP, The People's Party.
Who We Are:
We are mothers, fathers, youth, elders, workers, farmers, entrepreneurs, and dreamers. We come from all corners of the island and all walks of life. We are not career politicians. We are citizens who are tired of watching Jamaica being sold out piece by piece, from our land, to our ports, to our future.
The DDP is a movement of unity, truth, and action. Our leadership is built on integrity, honesty, and a bold vision to put power back into the hands of you, the people. We don't see politics as a hustle or a stepping stone, we see it as a sacred responsibility to serve.
What We Stand For:
🟡 People Before Politics
We will end the culture of tribalism and political handouts. DDP will prioritize people over party loyalty, and solutions over slogans.
🟡 Sovereignty and Self-Reliance:
Jamaica must own its future. We will fight to reclaim our lands, ports, and resources, no more foreign takeovers disguised as “development.” No more leaders selling out our heritage.
🟡 Accountable and Transparent Leadership:
No more lies. No more hidden deals. The DDP will push for full transparency in governance, and body cameras for law enforcement to protect both the public and the police.
🟡 Fixed Toll Rates and Public Contracts Reviewed:
We will challenge unjust toll increases like those on Highway 2000. The people deserve fair contracts and accessible, affordable transportation.
🟡 Real Help for the People: From affordable food, housing, education, and job creation, to repairing our broken healthcare system, DDP is here to fix what others ignore. We stand for those living paycheck to paycheck, for the children learning under zinc roofs, and for the elderly who built this country and are now being forgotten.
🟡 Youth Empowerment and Creative Industry Support:
We will invest in the future by creating opportunities for young people, in tech, culture, agriculture, and the arts, not just through training, but through real access to funding and platforms.
🟡 Unity Without Fear:
Our party welcomes every Jamaican regardless of background, race, class, or gender. Leadership should reflect the diversity and talent of our people, not just the privileged few.
What We’re Doing Now,
We’re not waiting until election season to work. The DDP is already organizing grassroots efforts, collecting signatures to become officially registered, planning and hosting public forums, engaging truth-telling media programs, and standing up on the real issues:
🔹 Calling out corruption
🔹 Protesting unfair toll increases
🔹 Demanding justice and accountability from the JCF
🔹 Defending Jamaica’s sovereignty from foreign influence
🔹 Creating platforms for honest national conversations
We are showing that change doesn't come from power, it comes from people who are willing to stand up, speak truth, and act with courage.
The Message is Clear:
Jamaica, yuh deserve better.
We’ve seen what 9 years under the JLP has done, the selling off of our assets, the widening gap between rich and poor, the hollow promises while crime, poverty, and hopelessness rise.
We’ve already seen what 18 years of the PNP offered, internal fighting, mismanagement, and stagnation.
DDP is not here to recycle failure, we are here to REBUILD JAMAICA.
Join the Movement.
The Diplomatic Democratic Party isn’t asking for your vote just to win power.
We are inviting you to be part of a revolution, one based on truth, integrity, and action.
Let’s put the power back in the hands of the people, where it belongs.
Let’s reclaim Jamaica, not for the next election, but for the next generation.
🇯🇲 Unity. Prosperity. Happiness.
That’s the DDP way.

MESSAGE FROM OUR VICE PRESIDENT -
My fellow Jamaicans,
For over 80 years, we've witnessed the pendulum swing between two dominant political parties, each promising change but delivering more of the same. It's time to break this cycle because expecting different results from identical actions is futile. Our nation cannot afford to continue down this path of stagnation, where our national assets are bartered away for short-term gains.
Today, we stand at a crucial juncture. The current governments and their opposition alike have failed to safeguard our interests, instead engaging in actions that undermine our sovereignty and prosperity. They have traded our future for fleeting benefits, neglecting the long-term welfare of our children and the preservation of our country.
But there is hope. The Diplomatic Democratic Party represents a new dawn for Jamaica, a movement built on principles of integrity, inclusivity, and genuine progress. It's time for us, as a united people, to rise and reclaim what is rightfully ours. Together, we can safeguard our country's resources, empower our communities, and pave the way for a brighter future.
Join us in this pivotal moment. Let's save our country, not just for ourselves, but for generations to come. Together, we will chart a course that honors our values, respects our diversity, and ensures that every Jamaican has a stake in our collective prosperity.
Together, let's do what is right. Join the Diplomatic Democratic Party today and be the change our nation deserves.
Sincerely,
Hujae Hutchinson
Vice President
Diplomatic Democratic Party DDP
