JAMAICA: JLP claims historic third straight victory
The Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) was re-elected for an unprecedented third consecutive term on 3 September. Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness, who dissolved parliament on 10 August, had called snap elections in 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic, with the JLP winning an emphatic victory. Five years on it was much closer, with the opposition People’s National Party (PNP) bouncing back to strengthen its presence in the 63-seat parliament and deny the JLP its previous two-thirds majority to enact constitutional changes without opposition input.
