Election results by affiliation
The final tally is in, and Cayman will once again have a coalition government.
Here is a look at the results by affiliation:
The People’s Progressive Movement takes the most seats with seven.
The remaining seats are split evenly between independents, the Cayman Islands National Party, and the Caymanian Community Party, with four each.
That means independents are expected to play a key role in forming the next government.
Bodden Town West independent, Chris Saunders, has already gone on record saying the PPM is the only party he will work with.

A ‘bittersweet night’ and no predictions from Roy Tatum
Roy Tatum tells our reporter Norma Connolly that he is happy to have won in Red Bay but he sounds subdued and acknowledges he is “saddened” by some results.
“It is bittersweet so far,” he says, highlighting Crystal Gomez and Donna Bush as disappointing losses.
After last time and a long history in politics, he accepts he would be “foolish” to predict anything about where the government is going.
