No party wins majority in Cayman Islands election
- The Cayman Islands held a general election on Wednesday in which no party won a majority of the 19 elected parliamentary seats.
- The election followed the creation of two new parties and the participation of several independents competing against the longstanding People's Progressive Movement.
- The People's Progressive Movement secured the highest number of seats with seven but fell short of the ten needed for a majority. Both the Cayman Islands National Party and the Caymanian Community Party each gained four seats, while three independents also won spots in Parliament.
- A government statement announced that André Ebanks will lead a coalition government of the two new parties and three independents, pledging to address the territory’s cost of living crisis.
- This outcome ended decades of single-party dominance and suggests a period of coalition governance aimed at financial stability and responding to voters’ recent referendum decisions.
