Cayman government Swearing-In-ceremony
André Ebanks is set to be sworn in as premier alongside his National Coalition For Caymanians government this afternoon. The official ceremonies are scheduled to start at 2pm.
The proceedings will begin inside the House of Parliament chamber, with Governor Jane Owen carrying out the administration of oaths and affirmation, during which all 19 elected MPs across the government and opposition benches will be sworn in.
Once those members are in place, an election to appoint a new speaker of the House will be held, with Ezzard Miller being nominated by the new government. Then, the deputy speaker and premier will be elected by the MPs.
When those formalities are completed, the governor will conduct a separate ceremony outside the parliamentary building for the swearing in of the premier, deputy premier, the ministers and members of Cabinet.
The ceremonies typically last about four hours.
We will be bringing you the events live on Compass TV and the Cayman Compass website throughout the day.
