General Elections: Rhoda Crawford retains Manchester Central

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Labour Party’s (JLP) Rhoda Crawford has won the Manchester Central seat in the 2025 General Election, based on preliminary results.

Crawford tallied 9,035 votes while the People’s National Party’s (PNP) Donovan Mitchell secured 8,861 votes.

With the win, Crawford held the constituency for the JLP, which flipped the seat in the 2020 General Election, where she beat the PNP’s Peter Bunting, securing 8,097 votes to Bunting’s 7,112.
