Jamaica opposition wins polls
Jamaica's leading opposition People's National Party (PNP) has won a landslide election in a vote driven by concerns about crime, corruption and poverty on the picturesque Caribbean island.
Preliminary results late Thursday indicated the left-leaning party had won 41 out of 63 constituencies, giving it a resounding majority and showing the door to Andrew Holness, 39, the country's youngest-ever prime minister.
PNP leader Portia Simpson Miller, who became the first female prime minister in 2006 but narrowly lost a reelection bid the next year, promised transparency and vowed cooperation for her govt.
