Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris and his Team Unity-led coalition continue to receive commendations on their victory in the June 5 elections.
On Tuesday Baroness Sugg, the UK’s Minister for Sustainable Development and the Overseas Territories, extended congratulations on behalf of the people and government of the United Kingdom to Prime Minister Harris and his Team Unity colleagues.
Sugg stated in her letter that, “It is clear from your landslide victory that the people of St. Kitts and Nevis support your leadership and the direction of the Team Unity coalition.”
The UK minister also commended Prime Minister Harris, and the wider St. Kitts and Nevis for “holding a successful election during the COVID-19 crisis,” noting that, “the extra planning and resources required must have been challenging.”
Sugg also conveyed her appreciation to the prime minister for ensuring that CARICOM observers were permitted to enter the country to oversee the conducting of the free and fair elections.
A report by the CARICOM Election Observation Mission indicates that the results of the St. Kitts-Nevis General Elections have reflected the will of the people and that on polling day “voters were able to cast their ballots without intimidation or fear.”
