Uncertainty looms over Cayman Islands following general election

The final results of Wednesday's general election in the Cayman Islands have left the country facing significant uncertainty over who will lead the next government.

A disparate group of independent candidates triumphed in the elections but did not manage to win a 10-seat majority in the Legislative Assembly.  
  
It is unclear which group of elected members will form the governing coalition.
  
Independent candidates swept Bodden Town’s four seats, as well as those in East End and North Side.
  
Independent Kenneth Bryan pulled off the upset win of the evening, defeating Progressives Minister Marco Archer in George Town Central.  
  
There were jubilant scenes outside George Town town hall where a large crowd of supporters hoisted Mr. Bryan on their shoulders before leading a celebratory procession through the streets.
