MEET YOUR CANDIDATE - Isat Buchanan
A Champion of Human Rights, The Constitution, Education and Reform
Character is revealed not in how we fall but in how we rise. Twice I faced the judgment of a court. Each time I answered with accountability. And then, I chose to build, not hide.
As a lawyer, I have fought for justice in the real courtroom of life. I have walked among the people, not above them. I know what it means to be unheard, unseen, and underestimated. And that’s why I fight for Portland Eastern with a different kind of knowledge, the kind forged in fire, not on a political platform.
So ask yourself, do you want baseless political chatter or do you want a leader who has been through it all and still stands tall. This is not about the past, this is championing change for the future.
“Imagine an economy where your health is protected, your children are educated, your land feeds your family, and your community thrives on tourism. That’s the vision I have for Portland Eastern.
A future where every sector serves the people, not just the privileged. We’re not waiting for change. We’re building it through health, education, agriculture, and tourism. Together, we rise because change can’t wait.
The People's Defender
Driven by a passion for the constitutional rights and dignity of everyone, regardless of their story or status, Isat Buchanan is the attorney behind:
- The freedom of popular Jamaican dancehall artiste Adidja ‘Vybz Kartel’ Palmer, after 13 years in prison, taking the case before the Privy Council and winning.
- Alongside his legal partner – the freedom of George Williams, the mentally-ill man who spent 50 years in custody without a trial.
The successful cases before, after, and in-between the highlighted two, are many, and of equal significance to his clients and their loved ones.
Isat is among Jamaica’s best attorneys and he serves with and from the heart.
A Voice for the Voiceless
I know what it means to be unheard, unseen, and underestimated. And that’s why I fight for Portland Eastern, and all Jamaicans, with a different kind of knowledge, the kind forged in fire, not on a political platform.
