BASSETERRE St. Kitts, March 16th 2011 - “We have done some major introspection in the party and we feel that we need to make some major announcements, not only to our rank and file or party membership but to the country at large in terms of where we see our party moving forward,” said People’s Action Movement Leader Lindsay Grant.
The St.Kitts-Nevis main opposition party the People’s Action Movement will be making some major announcements regarding the future direction of the 46 year old Political organisation.
The Party recently announced the dates of three major events over the next few weeks including the annual delegates convention known as the Party Caucus on March 20th , a Public Meeting in Old Road on Thursday March 31st and the party’s 46th annual convention on Sunday April 3rd. Both the Caucus and Convention will be held at the Party’s headquarters.
“We have done some major introspection in the party and we feel - just on the verge of the caucus which comes up on 20th March and then we have convention on 3rd April - that we need to make some major announcements, not only to our rank and file but to the country at large in terms of where we see the People’s Action Movement moving forward from here,” said People’s Action Movement Leader Lindsay Grant.
Grant continued “I don’t really want to give too much detail at this point in time. But a major announcement will be made on the night of the public meeting in Old Road in my constituency #4. However other significant announcements will be made at the party’s convention on April 3rd. The convention as well as the announcements will undoubtedly concentrate on the future of the party. We intend to concentrate on enhancing and developing the future of the party and also the country. We will be guided by the successes and failures of the past and use experiences gained from both to chart the future and thus ensuring the upward movement and development of the party.”
The PAM Leader also addressed the situation regarding the post election fall-out involving 5 candidates.
“The situation regarding the 5 candidates is one that will inevitably occur in any vibrant , dynamic organisation. The 5 candidates expressed a concern about my leadership. Although I, along with the party membership, do not agree with them, as was clearly shown by my unanimous re-election as party leader last year, I respect their right to air their views and concerns regarding my leadership. That is the very principle upon which this great party stands.” Grant stated.
The People’s Action Movement March 31st Old Road Public Meeting will be surrounding theme “Better must come under PAM…….Let’s take our country back”.
