We are going to take you on a bit of a historical journey as we tell you the results. The first elected woman as head of government in the Americas was Dame Eugenia Charles who was from the island of Dominica. She was the world longest continuously serving Prime Minister from 1980-1995. Now 16 years later Prime Minister elect Portia Simpson Miller, Jamaica's only female head of government has led her party to a resounding victory which will place her in the history books forever.
2011 has seen women elected our appointed in major roles around the world and it was once noted that if we had more women in leadership roles they would be less wars and conflict. We believe that 2012 is the end of business as usual and changes are eminent and needed.
We extend congratulations to Prime Minister Elect Portia Simpson Miller of the PNP and what a fitting way to close 2011 and usher in a New Year (2012).
