"The opposition Jamaica Labor Party has won the general election after a campaign dominated by economic issues. The party's leader Andrew Holness, 43, vowed to create jobs, grow the economy and improve education and healthcare. Labor won 33 of the country's 63 seats in a vote with a 47% turnout, beating the People's National Party of Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller. Jamaica is heavily indebted, but austerity measures introduced by Ms Simpson Miller have led to growth."
