59-year-old economist and leader of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), Orrett Bruce Golding, has been sworn in as Jamaica's eighth prime minister in what was a ceremony packed with pomp and pageantry at King's House, the official residence of the head of state. Golding, whose Jamaica Labour Party won Jamaica's recent General Elections, will be taking office from Portia Simpson Miller, Jamaica's first woman prime minister, who took the oath of office at this same venue a mere 17 months ago.
