| | Alexander Bustamante - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It was Bustamante's decision that the JLP would not contest a by-election to the federal parliament that resulted in his rival and cousin, Premier Norman Manley, calling the referendum in 1961 that led to Jamaica's withdrawal and the break-up of the Federation. | | | Bustamante's party won 22 of 32 seats in the first House of Representatives elected by universal suffrage, making Bustamante the unofficial government leader (as Minister for Communications) until the position of Chief Minister was created in 1953. | | | Jamaica was granted independence in 1962 and Bustamante served as the independent country's first Prime Minister until 1967. |
