KINGSTON, Jamaica — Prime Minister Bruce Golding announced Tuesday that Jamaica’s education minister has received the unanimous endorsement of ruling-party lawmakers to become the Caribbean island’s next leader.

Golding said he will step down as prime minister on Sunday, about a month earlier than expected, to make way for Andrew Holness, the 39-year-old education minister who has consistently dominated polls asking Jamaicans who should replace the departing leader.
