PM Announces This Election His Last As DLP Leader

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit revealed on Sunday that he has begun to think of the transition of leadership of his party.

Mr. Skerrit addressed a rally of his Dominica Labour Party in Antigua on Sunday.

Mr. Skerrit said this upcoming general election will be his last as DLP leader, saying “I have already made it clear that this will be my last election as leader of the party. The transition is starting now, and next time around, it will continue with persons such as myself giving way to new talents, outlooks and energy in the Dominica Labour Party.”

The Prime Minister also announced the construction of another new hotel to begin soon in the north.

He boasted of the work ongoing to develop modern tourism infrastructure on the island, highlighting that within the next week, “…the Labour Party will sign a contract for a new hotel adjacent to the current Kempinski Hotel; will be a 100 room hotel.”
