The 1980 national polls represented a major transition in Jamaica's politics as the socialist government of Prime Minister Michael Manley was swept from power by the conservative Jamaica Labour Party, led by Edward Seaga. The parties were fiercely divided along ideological lines. The JLP won 51 of the 60 parliamentary seats.
