Jamaicans will head to the polls on September 3 to decide who will lead the country for the next five years. Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness made the long-anticipated announcement at a mass rally in Half-Way Tree, on Sunday evening, calling on voters to 'Choose Jamaica' and grant the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) an unprecedented third consecutive term in office.
Nomination Day has been set for August 18. Public opinion polls suggest the race to control Jamaica House will be a tight one. By-elections in four local government divisions in the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation will also be held on September 3, Holness announced. The divisions are - Chancery Hall, Olympic Gardens, Seivwright Gardens Gardens and Denham Town.
