Jamaica's Andrew Holness secured a third term as Prime Minister, leading his Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) to victory over the People's National Party (PNP). Despite pre-election polls favoring the PNP, the JLP won 34 of 63 seats. Holness's tenure has seen economic improvements, including debt reduction and crime decrease. He faced accusations of corruption, which he denied, successfully defending himself in court. While the PNP made gains, low voter turnout (under 40%) raised concerns.
