KINGSTON, Jamaica — Prime Minister Andrew Holness has officially called the next Jamaican general election, with the nation set to head to the polls on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. The announcement came during a massive Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) mass rally in Half-Way Tree, which drew thousands of supporters.
The Prime Minister also announced that Nomination Day will be held on Monday, August 18, 2025, kicking off a formal period of campaigning. The highly anticipated announcement concludes weeks of public speculation and sets the stage for a new political race.
During his speech, Prime Minister Holness reminded Jamaicans of the good work his administration has done, with a significant portion of the speeches at the rally focusing on the JLP’s accomplishments during their time in power. Other key themes of the campaign included national economic growth, addressing issues of national security, and a controversial proposal to develop a new city in the parish of St. Elizabeth.
With the election date now confirmed, both the JLP and the opposition People’s National Party (PNP) are expected to intensify their campaign activities. The nation will now focus on the upcoming political battle, as both parties make their final push to secure a majority in Parliament.
