GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands – Premier Hon. Alden McLaughlin congratulates Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party on their general election victory.

“It is not without relief that we have learned that the Conservatives won the majority of the national vote in yesterday’s United Kingdom general election and that Boris Johnson has returned to Number 10 Downing Street,” said Mr. McLaughlin.

“I congratulate Mr. Johnson on a well-fought campaign and look forward to working with his Government in the coming year. We believe that a win by the Conservatives is a good result for the Cayman Islands and other British Overseas Territories.

“The Cayman Islands has had a positive and productive working relationship with several Conservative governments over the years and I look forward to meeting with the Prime Minister early next year and working with him and the new Government on issues important to the UK and the Cayman Islands, including completing the important reforms to our  constitution” Mr. McLaughlin said.
