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, 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

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]

Electoral system

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]
