Jamaicans headed to the polls on September 3 with the general election pitting the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) of Prime Minister Andrew Holness against the opposition People’s National Party (PNP) led by Mark Golding.

Holness is looking for his third consecutive term while Golding renounced his British citizenship ahead of the vote following public scrutiny. All this in the midst of allegations of corruption, cost-of-living pressures and high crime rates.

Turnout appeared to be high in key urban constituencies throughout the morning with long lines.
