The two nominees for Party Leadership are: Mr. E. Robelto Hector and Dr. Kelvin Daly who were invited to make presentations during the meeting about their vision for the party going forward under their leadership.

Hector spoke about “uniting with other regional political parties and pushing through with powerful ideas and a positive way forward”. He also discussed the strengthening of the constituency groups and each person making sacrifices for the party that they love.

Dr. Kelvin Daly told the audience that he is, “prepared to work towards a new beginning and a positive way forward for reforming the party.” He went on to say, “it is very important that the party become more accountable to its people.”

Mr. Parry concluded the session with the vote of thanks and informed the audience that our two Nevis representatives in the Concerned Citizens Movement and Unity led Administrations are doing very little to propel the island of Nevis forward as they are spending more time in St. Kitts and abroad and less time on Nevis working for Nevis. “It is time that they are held accountable for not bringing anything tangible to the island of Nevis.”
