Jamaican general election, 2007

General elections in Jamaica were held on September 3 2007. They had originally been scheduled for August 27 2007 but were delayed due to Hurricane Dean. [http://www.thestar.com/News/article/233840] The preliminary results indicated a slim victory for the opposition Jamaican Labour Party led by Bruce Golding, which grew by two seats from 31-29 to 33-27 after official recounts. The JLP defeated the People's National Party after eighteen years of unbroken rule.
