Cayman Islands Finance Minister Roy McTaggart is likely to lead the country's new coalition government.
Cayman Islands Finance Minister Roy McTaggart is being tipped to lead the new coalition government after voters on Wednesday re-elected 12 incumbents and seven newcomers including three women to the 19-seat Legislative Assembly.
Mr. McTaggart, the leader of the Progressives party that also includes outgoing premier, Alden McLaughlin, is likely to lead the new government after Mr. McLaughlin indicated that he was prepared to hand over the reins to his former cabinet colleague.
There were jubilant scenes at party headquarters as the final results came in just after 11 o'clock Wednesday night.
Mr. McLaughlin described the poll as one of the hardest elections he had ever fought.
