Prime Minister Congratulates Holness on Historic Third Term Victory in Jamaica

September 5, 2025- Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness has secured a landmark third consecutive term, with the Jamaica Labour Party winning 34 of the 63 parliamentary seats—making him the first JLP leader to achieve this feat. The party’s campaign highlighted a notable 43% reduction in killings this year, a key factor in their success.

Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, extended her congratulations, describing the win as “decisive and overwhelming.” In her statement, she emphasized the strong bilateral ties between the two CARICOM nations and reaffirmed their shared commitment to collaboration on economic and security issues.

Persad-Bissessar’s personal connection to Jamaica, through her husband, further underscores the close relationship and mutual appreciation between the neighboring countries.
