PM Holness Hints at Impending General Election Date

Kingston, Jamaica (McKoy’s News) – Get ready, Jamaica! Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness has signaled loud and clear that the big announcement is just around the corner — the general election date could be revealed any day now.

Speaking before a massive crowd at a gospel concert in East Portland on Sunday night, Holness delivered what may be his strongest hint yet that the country’s 18th General Election since 1944 is right on the horizon.

“The signs are clear,” Holness declared. “The time is drawing near!”

Inside sources have confirmed to McKoy’s News that the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) is already making logistical preparations for three massive meetings in August — set for Mandeville, Montego Bay, and Half-Way Tree.

The streets are buzzing, and so are the political bases. The big green machine appears to be warming up its engines.

Election watchers will remember:

• In 2011, Holness named the date in Mandeville — a race the JLP lost to the PNP.
• In 2016, Portia Simpson Miller announced the date in Half-Way Tree — and was handed defeat at the polls.
• In 2020, Holness made history by becoming the first PM to announce the election date in Parliament, before securing a landslide victory.

Where will the 2025 announcement come from? Speculation is swirling — but the energy is unmistakable.

While no official date has been given, political insiders say the announcement is imminent, and campaign machinery is already in motion behind the scenes.

One senior JLP figure told McKoy’s News:

“The country will know soon. We are ready. The people are ready.”

Whether it’s a stage in Half-Way Tree, a mic in Mandeville, or the Parliament podium, one thing’s for sure — Prime Minister Holness is setting the stage for a major political showdown.
