Andrew Michael Holness, ON, MP (born 22 July 1972) is a Jamaican politician who has been

the Prime Minister of Jamaica since 3 March 2016, following the 2016 Jamaican general election.
[1]
 Holness previously served as prime minister from October 2011 to 5 January 2012. He
succeeded Bruce Golding as prime minister, and decided to go to the polls in the 29 December
2011 general election in an attempt to get his own mandate from the Jamaican electorate. He
failed in that bid, however, losing to the People's National Party led by Portia Simpson-Miller,
with the PNP gaining 42 seats to the Jamaica Labour Party's 21. Following that defeat, Holness
served as Leader of the Opposition from January 2012 to March 2016, when he once again
assumed the position of prime minister.[2] In 2020, The Labour Party won another general
election, and on September 7th Holness was sworn in for another term as prime minister.[3]
Holness is the youngest person to have been elected and reelected prime minister in Jamaica's
history. He is also the first prime minister to have been born after Jamaica gained
independence in 1962.[4]
