Results of General Election, “a repudiation” of old ways and gimmicks, says PM Harris

The Team Unity coalition, comprising of three (3) political parties here in St. Kitts and Nevis namely: the CCM Party, the People’s Action Movement (PAM) and People’s Labour Party (PLP), won 9 out of the 11 seats in the June 5th General Election.

 

In the 2015 General Election, the coalition won 7 of those seats (PAM-4, CCM-2, PLP-1). In the recent Election, Team Unity increased in the number of seats (PAM-4, CCM-3, PLP-2).

 

But what does this represent?

 

Although this election has been regarded as a “landslide victory” and “historic”, Prime Minister, Dr. the Hon. Timothy Harris, during his swearing-in ceremony on Sunday June 7th, said the Election results was a rejection, of a number of things.

 

 

PM Harris, who is also the Leader of the PLP, has been the Representative for St. Christopher #7 for over 20 years.

 

His opponent in the June 5th General Election was the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP’s) Candidate for St. Christopher #7, Mr. Leon Natta-Nelson.
