    CHARLESTOWN, Nevis – DEPUTY PREMIER of Nevis, the Hon. Mark Brantley declared last evening (Oct. 15) that the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM), led by Premier Vance Amory, would be launching its election campaign on Saturday (Oct. 18).

     

    “This great CCM party will be launching its official campaign. We not gonna be waiting to hear what’s going to happen. We are launching our official campaign this Saturday night in the heart of Charlestown. We are asking everybody to converge on Charlestown. We are having the first public meeting since the elections of last year.”

    Brantley made this declaration last evening during his weekly talk show programme ‘On The Mark’ aired on Von Radio in Nevis.

    He said that the meeting would be held just outside the Courthouse in Charlestown and his political party is inviting all those residing on Nevis, “whether you are from Rawlins, Barnes Ghaut, St. James, St. Paul’s, St. Thomas’, St. John’s and St. George, we are saying please converge on Charlestown on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The big blue machine is out of the shop and we are rolling now straight to Election Day. We have decided that we are not going to wait any longer. The people want to hear the issues and we are going to take the issue to the people”.

    He continued: “Since they want campaign, let us go and campaign. Let us go and talk because I have a big trunk I want to open. Let us go and talk because it is high time that this kind of nonsense stops. It must stop. Why tell people in Brown Hill they must go and vote in Market Shop. Is the NRP crazy? The only way we are going to eradicate this type of behaviour is to change the entire structure. You have elected a decent government in Nevis; let us finish it off. Let us finish the job...do what is necessary to restore decency and good governance in the entire Federation.

    “...Let us stand up, stand up and keep standing up...not going to sit down here in this country again. Things that happened in the past must not be allowed to continue to happen. We see again those who intend to destroy our democracy at the gates, we have to stop them.”

    Reiterating his call for residents to go out and listen to the issues affecting Nevis, Brantley said the CCM would be out there in force.

    “We will be having our very first meeting and I would like to say the machine was in the shop, we were polishing it, we are changing up the spark plugs, putting on a brand new coat of blue and we will be out there in force. Come and hear the Honourable Vance Amory, the Honourable Alexis Jeffers; come and hear me. Come and hear the Honourable Spencer Brand, when I say Honourable...soon to be. Come and hear Colin Tyrell; come and hear our platform speakers. We will be out there in our numbers and the youngsters Hazel Brandy-Williams and the Honourable Troy Liburd.”

    The party’s Deputy Leader said the CCM wants the people to go out and show the NRP that when “we call on our people what happens”, adding that “these are serious times and serious times demand serious attention from serious people. Come out and hear us speak, come out and listen to the next Federal Government; not only going to be the government here but also going to be government over there and show the people of Nevis once and for all the quality of governance that they deserve...Come out and listen to the people who will sit in Church Street”.
