Dr. Drew is leader of SKNLP
Dr. Terrence Drew was elected leader of the St. Kitts Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP) on Sunday Nov 28. The event was held at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort and attended by party delegates from all eight constituencies on St. Kitts. Though Nevis is in the official name of the political party, the SKNLP has had no presence on the island in decades.
Dr. Drew was elected by votes with 184 vote. The other two candidates in the race Dr. Geoffrey Hanley received 70 votes and Konris Maynard 153 votes. A total of 412 delegates were expected to cast ballots. 5 votes were spoiled.
Outgoing party leader and former Prime Minster Dr. Denzil Douglas congratulated the new leader and pledge his full support. He encouraged delegates to “leave the conference as one people…They cannot beat us if we are together….We are stronger together.”
