UDP wins General Election

The United Democratic Party (UDP) has won the Cayman Islands General Election, 4 years after losing to the People’s Progressive Movement (PPM). The UDP captured the 9 of 15 elected seats in the Legislative Assembly.

Islanders also voted to accept a new constitution. Over 11,000 voters cast referendum ballots, with just under 63 percent voting for change.

The new constitution will introduce a bill of rights, three new elected positions in government, and give Cayman more control over its affairs.
