A pair of Caribbean elections have concluded with incumbent leaders retaining power.
In Jamaica, Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness has been re-elected for a third term after a tight race. His Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) came out on top with 34 seats, while the opposition People’s National Party (PNP) won 29.
In Guyana, President Dr. Irfaan Ali will serve a second term following the People’s Progressive Party/Civic’s (PPP/C) victory. The PPP/C secured 36 of the 65 parliamentary seats.
The election also saw a new political force, We Invest in Nationhood (WIN), make a strong debut, earning second place and displacing A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) as the main opposition.
