KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — The Britain-appointed governor of the Cayman Islands named Julianna O’Connor-Connolly as the Caribbean territory’s new premier on Wednesday, a day after the former leader was removed by a parliamentary vote over his arrest on suspicion of misconduct.

Gov. Duncan Taylor said O’Connor-Connolly was supported by a majority of governing party lawmakers and he was satisfied she could form a “stable, functioning government.”
