JLP wins elections in Jamaica

Andrew Holness is now Jamaica’s Prime Minister-elect as his opposition Jamaica Labor Party (JLP) won the February 25 elections over the ruling People’s National Party (PNP), winning 33 of the 63 seats.  Interestingly, the PNP had an ~ 4% lead in the polls when Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller called the elections.

Congratulations to Mr. Holness and the JLP.  Let’s pray for our country, Mr. Holness, our leaders, and our citizens that we may continue to represent well to the rest of the world in Education, Sports, Farming/produce/goods, Values, Ethics, and just the “One Love” attitude.  One Love.
