Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness says the general election is "near".

Delivering his speech at the Jamaica Labour Party's annual conference on Sunday at the National Arena, Holness urged Jamaicans to keep in the Jamaica Labour Party in government for a third consecutive term.

The national polls are due by September 2025.

"The Jamaica Labour Party is the best choice for leading Jamaica. The Jamaica Labour Party is ready for the third term," said Holness.
