ROSEAU, Dominica, Dec 8, 2014, CNS – The ruling Dominica Labour Party (DLP) was returned to power in Monday’s general election.
The DLP, which won 18 seats in the 2009 general election, is on course to win at least 15 of the 21 seats it contested in Monday’s poll.
The main opposition United Workers party (UWP) has won four seats so far, with its new leader, Lennox Linton easily defeating Dr. Martin Christmas by a margin of 935 to 299.
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit is on schedule to sweep his Vielle Case seat by a wide margin leading Alex Birmingham by 1,087 to 110 votes with just a few polling stations yet to report.
In the 2009 general election, the UWP won just three of the 21 seats in the general election.
