Kingston, Jamaica, Sep 4 (AP) — Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness has successfully secured a third term following an extremely close election on Thursday. This election took place amidst an atmosphere of corruption, inequality, and economic challenges on the island.

According to preliminary results, Holness' Jamaica Labor Party clinched at least 34 seats, whereas Mark Golding's opposition People's National Party managed to secure a minimum of 29 seats.

In a brief speech, Golding conceded the election, expressing disappointment with the outcome while acknowledging his opponent's success.
