title: Shadow Cabinet of Jamaica
text: # Shadow Cabinet of Jamaica
  
  The Shadow Cabinet of Jamaica (usually known simply as The Shadow Cabinet) is, in the Westminster system of government in traditional constitutional theory, an alternative to the cabinet who scrutinize their corresponding Cabinet of Jamaica ministers, develop alternative policies, and hold the Government to account for its actions and responses. Since February 2016, the People's National Party has been His Majesty's Loyal Opposition in Jamaica, and its leadership therefore forms the current Shadow Cabinet.
  
  ## Composition
  
  ### His Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition
  
  The opposition of Jamaica, formally referred to as His Majesty's Jamaican Government, consists of senior members of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition who scrutinise their corresponding government ministers, develop alternative policies, hold the government to account for its actions and responses, and act as spokespeople for the opposition party in their own specific policy area
  
  The current composition of the Shadow Cabinet of Jamaica was chosen by Leader of the Opposition (Jamaica), Mark Golding on December 3, 2020, following his ascension as President of the People's National Party succeeding Peter Phillips.
