The people of St. Kitts and Nevis  goes to the poll today.

Eleven of fifteen electable seats in the unicameral National Assembly will be contested by Harris’ Team Unity coalition and the opposition. The other four seats are appointed by the head of state and representative of the monarchy, Governor-General Sir Tapley Seaton.

The incumbent Team Unity government is facing a strong challenge from the Saint Kitts and Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP), led by former Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Llewellyn, M.D.

Dr. Douglas said that his party is ready to lea the country in the COVID-19 era as it faces new challenges including of higher unemployment rates and the need for a diversified economy. And he already has plans to build the long-awaited bridge between St. Kitts and Nevis which he said will create “thousands of jobs.”
