Topic: Julie Hunter

Following the 2025 Cayman Islands general election, there was a call to increase the number of women in Parliament.

Cayman will see six new office-holders take their seats in Parliament for the first time.

Election night’s largest upset has been dealt by West Bay West candidate Julie Hunter, a first-time contender representing the Cayman Islands National Party. Hunter has done what no other Cayman Islands candidate has been able to do and has defeated incumbent McKeeva Bush as an MP challenger by a margin of just 19 votes.

The 13th candidate forum, hosted by the Chamber of Commerce, was a solo affair on Monday, with only Julie Hunter attending for West Bay West.

At its first official party rally, the Cayman Islands National Party delivered what it called 'commitments' rather than 'promises' as its candidates outlined changes to education, transport, development and immigration that they say they plan to make if elected.

Former EY partner Dan Scott has launched a new political party insisting “Caymanians are crying out for change” and his slate of 11 political newcomers can provide it.

The West Bay West race begun in earnest on Tuesday when banker and community activist Julie Hunter announced her candidacy as incumbent MP McKeeva Bush hosted his first pre-election public meeting in the district.
