KINGSTON (Reuters) -Jamaicans headed to the polls on Wednesday for a general election that was expected to be a close contest between the nation's two major political parties, following a campaign dominated by competing tax-cut proposals and sharp accusations of corruption.
The election's leading contenders are incumbent Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness and his Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and the People's National Party (PNP), led by Mark Golding. Recent polls have offered conflicting outlooks, suggesting the outcome could be decided by a narrow margin.
