Political party closes its doors “with regret”, says its president

A Jersey political party said it had to “with regret” announce its closure.

Members of the Jersey Alliance asked the Royal Court on Wednesday to dissolve the political party.

The Jersey Alliance said that despite the “setback”, many of its members remained “committed” to contributing to the island’s future.

Former members could choose to participate in the 2026 elections either as independent candidates or within a new political entity.

President Gregory Guida said: “It is with regret that we announce the closure of what was one of the few political parties ever formed in Jersey.

“In keeping with our name, the Jersey Alliance was intended to be a dynamic gathering of individuals who have demonstrated their effectiveness, driven by altruism and capable of collective action,” he said.

“While the electorate has rejected our model with The Jersey Alliance, our group includes highly competent individuals, many of whom are already preparing for the 2026 election.”
