General elections were held in Jamaica on 3 September 2025.[1][2] The incumbent Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) government, led by Prime Minister Andrew Holness, successfully won a third term in office against the opposition People's National Party (PNP). However, the JLP lost 14 seats to the PNP, still retaining a majority.[3]

Background

[edit]

Minister of Legal and Constitutional Affairs Marlene Malahoo Forte said that Jamaica would transition to being a republic before the next general election.[4] In December 2024 a bill was tabled on transitioning to becoming a republic. The bill required review by joint committees, followed by a parliamentary vote and a referendum to approve the change.[5] It was announced in March 2025 that a referendum would not occur before the general election.[6]

Preselection contests were held in March 2025.[7]

Timeline

  • 21 September 2023 – Speaker Marisa Dalrymple-Philibert resigns as MP for Trelawny Southern.[8]
  • 26 February 2024 – local elections were held.
  • 9 March 2025 – The Jamaica Patriotic Movement announced support for the People's National Party.[9]
  • 10 August 2025 – Prime Minister Holness announces nomination day to be on 18 August and elections to follow on 3 September 2025.[10]
  • 29 August 2025 – Advanced voting was held for members of the security forces and poll workers, with 57% turnout recorded.[11]

Electoral system

[edit]

The 63 members of the House of Representatives are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting.[12] Voters must be 18 years and over and be a citizen of Jamaica or a Commonwealth citizen who is resident in Jamaica at the date of registration and has been a resident for at least twelve months prior to the date of registration.[13]

The leader of the party commanding a majority of support in the House of Representatives is called on by the Governor General to form a government as Prime Minister,[14] while the leader of the largest group or coalition not in government becomes the Leader of the Opposition.[15]
