Bert Wilkinson of the Amsterdam News is reporting that several CARICOM Caribbean nations will be holding important elections during a historic season of elections. Wilkinson reports:
“Two Caribbean Community (Caricom) nations head to the polls early next month, and a third head of government is readying to name a date, capping one of the busiest electoral years for the 15-member bloc in recent history.
Guyana, which hosts the Caricom, will vote on September 1, while on Sunday night, Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness ordered the nation to get ready to cast ballots on September 3, two days after Guyana.
In St. Vincent in the Eastern Caribbean, the regional subgrouping of Caricom is awaiting a date from Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves for when the multi-island federation will vote with the Grenadines — the constitutional deadline is November.
When done and dusted, 2025 might be one of the busiest electoral years for the bloc and its associate members in recent memory, with elections already completed in Trinidad, Suriname, Belize, Anguilla, Curacao, the Turks and Caicos islands, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands.”
