Holness was elected on Thursday during the 69th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference in Cape Town, South Africa.
Her election marks Jamaica’s return to the vice-chairpersonship for the first time since former Speaker of the House of Representatives Headley Cunningham served in the office from 1992 to 1993.
Holness previously served as chair of the CPA Caribbean, Americas and the Atlantic (CAA) Region and her tenure as regional chair culminated in Jamaica’s hosting of the 48th CPA Caribbean, Americas and the Atlantic Regional Conference from August 30 to September 5, 2026.
