Jamaica United Front
The Jamaica United Front was a small right-wing political party in Jamaica.
In 1980 the party proposed a national unity government of the Jamaica Labour Party and the People's National Party. Party leader Charles Johnson, who had been a member of the United States Army, serving in Vietnam and was running a security company in Kingston, was subsequently involved in an attempted coup on 23 June 1980. The coup was seen by the left as a plot by the CIA. Meanwhile, the Jamaican Labour Party saw it as an excuse to bring in troops from Cuba prior to elections. Johnson was acquitted in 1981 when a witness was judged to be unreliable.
The party contested one seat in the 1983 Jamaican general election. The elections that year saw a mass boycott as the People's National Party protested against the government. The JUF received only 144 votes and failed to win a seat. It did not contest any further elections.
