Yes, but only indirectly. In fact, during strength training, your blood pressure may temporarily rise.
What will lower your blood pressure and cholesterol is losing body fat. Since muscle burns many more calories than fat, one of the best ways to lose weight is to increase your muscle mass (lean muscle tissue). The best way to do that is by strength training. You can prove this to yourself by losing 10 or 20 pounds of body fat and getting your levels retested.
(This does not mean that you need to lose 10 or 20 pounds of body weight! If you lose 10 pounds of fat and gain 10 pounds of muscle, your body weight will be the same but your blood pressure and cholesterol levels will decrease.)
