KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jumada I 17, 1437, February 26, 2016, SPA -- The opposition narrowly won Jamaica's parliamentary elections Thursday, defeating the party led by the first female prime minister to govern the largest English-speaking country in the Caribbean, according to AP. Preliminary results from the Electoral Commission showed the Jamaica Labor Party capturing 33 spots in the 63-seat Parliament, enough to form a government. With discontent high among Jamaicans over high crime and a poor economy, turnout was around 47 percent. --SPA 02:07 LOCAL TIME 23:07 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
