JAMAICA-VOTE
Sandra (last name unavailable), 40, poses December 29, 2011 in front of a statue of Edward Seaga, Jamaican prime minister from 1980 until 1989, considered a benefactor of Tivoli Gardens, West Kingston. Sandra is clad in green, the color of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP). Jamaicans worried about high unemployment, crime and corruption cast their votes Thursday on the tourism-dependent Caribbean island, with their young prime minister's job on the line in a tight election. Prime Minister Andrew Holness, at 39 the youngest person ever to lead the laid-back, palm-fringed former British colony of just under three million, is the standard-bearer of the center-right Jamaica Labour Party (JLP). His rival, Jamaica's first female prime minister and the leader of the left-leaning People's National Party (PNP), Portia Simpson Miller, is seeking a return to the helm four years after narrowly losing her re-election bid.
