Jamaica’s PM to step down

The prime minister of Jamaica, Bruce Golding, will step aside in the next few weeks, the ruling party announced on Sunday. The move appeared intended to salvage the party’s chances in the next general election, which must be held by December 2012.
A brief announcement from the Jamaica Labor Party said Mr. Golding, 63, had decided to resign as party leader as soon as a replacement could be selected. The party’s leader automatically becomes the prime minister.
Mr. Golding’s political standing never recovered from his widely criticized handling of an extradition case in 2009 and 2010.
