The Rt. Ho. Dr. Denzil Douglas

    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE long wait is over! Prime Minister the Rt. Hon. Dr. Denzil Douglas has just announced that Nomination Day would be announced tonight (Jan. 27) at a public meeting in Buckley’s and he may also announce the date for General Elections.

     

    On a broadcast to the nation, just heard on ZIZ, Dr. Douglas said that the Governor-General has issued the relevant writs, informing the Returning Officers of his decision.

    “Today, the 27th day of January 2015, the Governor-General for the purpose of the holding of the seventh General Elections has issued the relevant writs of connections under the Public Seal addressed to the Returning Officers of all of the Constituencies.

    “By the same writs, it is ordered that the dates set for the nomination of candidates for each Constituency shall be named later tonight by me, the Prime Minister, in a public meeting that will take place at Buckley’s. And we shall make at that public meeting in Buckley’s also the date for the country’s next Elections, just a little beyond five years of the last Elections of 25th of January 2010.”

    The Prime Minister noted that the announcement at tonight’s meeting is based more by the fact that voters had expressed their desire for the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party to lead the country in 2010 and should continue to do so because of the party’s numerous achievements.

    He also stated that the democratic exercise would take place in a matter of weeks and made reference to the change in constituency boundaries. 

    “In a matter of weeks, fellow nationals, residents, we will all again participate in that all important democratic exercise when, with our X, they will specify exactly which candidates and which political party which to assume the leadership of our Federation in this moment of the nation’s history on renewed boundaries, realigned boundaries, fair boundaries at last.
