Is it okay to give promotion to a senior employee over a person who worked better than everybody else?

At the start of the year, I had a discussion with my manager about getting promoted and she gave me a checklist to complete. She promised that if I complete them I will get promoted for sure!
Now one quarter to go, I have completed all the points in the checklist and nobody else at the same level has done that. Now one person from each group of my department got promoted, but none of them have done the work that I have done. They all have one thing in common, they are all seniors to me!
How should I handle this now?

I would advise you to have a 1x1 meeting with your manager to review your checklist.
The main idea is to see if you did complete the checklist according to her expectations. This would be very beneficial to keep track of the quality of your work, together with what they expect.
It is really important to actually perform what the employer is awaiting. Having an outstanding employee, doing a lot of extra works (like developing new reporting for example, idk) but performing poorly at his actual paid job will no be well perceived.
So, try to do a performance evaluation based on the checklist and you manager expected.
Best of luck.

Now one quarter to go
Your time is not up yet. If your manager is to be believed your promotion should be in the next slots after the quarter. There are many reasons a company may do rounds of promotions at a certain time.
You may want to clarify with her, but I would just wait until the quarter is up before even clarifying. It's very unlikely that someone will be demoted and replaced by you if you make a fuss at this time.
