Orette Bruce Golding MP (born 5 December 1947) is the Prime Minister of Jamaica and leader of the Jamaica Labour Party. Golding became prime minister following his party's slim victory in the 2007 Jamaican general election held on September 3 and former Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller's concession of defeat two days later. He was sworn in by the Governor-General of Jamaica on September 11 2007. Golding is the nation's eighth prime minister since independence. [Edmond Campbell, [http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20070912/lead/lead1.html "Bruce takes charge - Golding sworn in as Jamaica's eighth Prime Minister"] , "Jamaica Gleaner", September 12, 2007.]

Golding was the founder of the National Democratic Movement (NDM). He was formerly the chairman of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) before he and others felt the need to split and form the new NDM in 1995. In 2002, he rejoined the JLP and in November 2003 was again elected chairman of the Party.

He was elected leader of the JLP, and also the leader of the opposition, on February 20, 2005, succeeding former leader Edward Seaga. Golding is a second-generation member of the JLP. His father, Tacius Golding, served as a member of parliament, and Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 1960s.

He is married to Lorna Golding and has three children, Sherene, Steven, and Ann-Merita.

Bruce Golding is the current M.P of West Kingston and he hosts a monthly talk show called 'Jamaica House Live.'
