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.
Holness previously served as prime minister from October 2011 to January 5, 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.Holness is the youngest person to have become prime minister in Jamaica's history, as well as the country's ninth prime minister overall.
He is also the first prime minister to have been born after Jamaica gained independence in 1962.
