Isat Buchanan has big plans for Portland

#jamaicagleaner Blessed with musical genes in his DNA, Isat Buchanan produced an album before becoming a lawyer. He once fancied himself becoming a big entertainer, following in the footsteps of his father, the legendary Manley ‘Big Youth’ Buchanan. But after consultation with a spiritual elder, he was told that he was not going to make it through music. He would go on to achieve distinction elsewhere. Fast-forward to the night before the beginning of the annual conference of the People’s National Party (PNP) in 2024, when the party’s general secretary, Dr Dayton Campbell, asked him to consider political representation. After a short consultation, he said yes, after serving as the chairman of the party’s internal affairs commission.
