Now the real work begins.
I truly believe that social media created the atmosphere for change that dominated the national debate. You articulated your dreams for Jamaica, and, most importantly, you acted on the promise of a better future by turning out to vote. You should be proud of what you have accomplished. This is your victory.
However, do not be complacent. Let us continue to participate with our voices and votes. We must now follow through on our promise to Jamaica that this was not only about changing governments, but changing how government works for you. It will not be government as usual.
In the coming days we will need your help in applying creative and innovative solutions to our challenges. After all accountability and performance is the cost of victory. Stay faithful to our commitments.
Finally, let me be clear: We have not won a prize to show off and reflect upon. We have been entrusted with a solemn oath to Jamaica and we expect the Jamaican people to hold us to account.
