a coalition government between the Progressives, three Cayman Democratic Party members and two independent members was agreed upon and took office with Alden McLaughlin as Premier of the Cayman Islands on 31 May 2017 securing a second term in office. Before the 2021 election, PPM leader Alden McLaughlin stepped down as he was term-limited from serving another term as Premier with then-Minister of Public Finance and Economic Development Roy McTaggart becoming leader and McLaughlin taking the role of Chairman. On election night, there were jubilant scenes at the Progressive watch party as the party maintained its seven seats along with a Progressive-aligned independent winning. Both McTaggart and McLaughlin were confident about pulling over the two independent MPs necessary to form a government; however, in the next week, Wayne Panton of the PACT group formed a majority with ten of the independents before adding PPM MP Juliana O'Connor-Connolly and another independent on the day he was swore in as Premier. McTaggart became Leader of the Opposition with a caucus of six Progressives and one independent.
