    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – AFTER more than 12 hours since the last public announcement was made in the count of the 2015 General Elections results, Supervisor of Elections Wingrove George late this afternoon (Feb. 17) officially declared Team Unity the winner.

     

    Speaking on the state-owned ZIZ radio and television, George announced that the incumbent Marcella Liburd of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP) had defeated Jonel Powell of the People’s Action Movement (PAM) to retain her Constituency Two seat, while the incumbent Sam Condor of the People’s Labour Party (PLP) had lost his Constituency Three seat to newcomer Konris Maynard of the SKNLP.

    He also announced that outgoing Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas of the SKNLP had retained his seat while defeating PAM’s first-timer Vernon Connor in Constituency Six, and Dr. Timothy Harris of the PLP and Leader of the tri-party Team Unity retained his Constituency Seven seat contesting against another SKNLP’s newcomer, Dr. Vance Gilbert.

    PAM’s incumbent Eugene Hamilton also retained his seat in Constituency Eight, beating another SKNLP’s newcomer, Dr. Terrance Drew, in the process, while former PAM’s Leader Lindsay Grant took away the seat in Constituency Four from Glenn Phillip of the SKNLP.

    Leader of the PAM and Deputy Leader of Team Unity, Shawn Richards retained his seat while defeating Dr. Norgen Wilson of the SKNLP in Constituency Five, and Ian ‘Patches’ Liburd defeated SKNLP’s incumbent Dr. Asim Martin in Constituency One.

    Over on sister isle Nevis, NRP’s incumbent Patrice Nisbett retained his Constituency 11 seat against the Concerned Citizen’s Movement’s (CCM) newcomer at this level, Alexis Jeffers, while Premier Vance Amory of the CCM remained steadfast against NRP’s first-timer Cory Tyson in Constituency 10, and his Deputy Mark Brantley, who is also a Deputy Leader of Team Unity, also retained his seat in Constituency Nine against Robelto Hector of the NRP.

    The tri-party Team Unity (PLP, PAM and CCM) will now form the Federal Government of St. Kitts and Nevis with Dr. Timothy Harris as the new Prime Minister after winning seven of the 11 seats.
