KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — A former Cayman Islands premier who faces 11 criminal charges and was ousted from leadership last year went into Wednesday’s general elections with an outside chance of returning to power in the British Overseas Territory.

McKeeva Bush’s United Democratic Party was one of two parties given a distant shot at winning outright in the voting for all 18 seats in the legislature. But since no party fielded candidates for all the seats, most observers said a coalition government was likely for the three-island territory of about 56,000 people.
