St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas said continued strong leadership and experienced will be required to help the twin-island Federation face the global financial crisis and is confident his Labour Party will win the next general election constitutionally due by October next year.

Responding to a question during his monthly press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Prime Minister Douglas noted that the region and the world are facing tremendous challenges, including the global financial crises, some of which have already unfolded and others still on the horizon.

“Not for my Party, but for the sake and the benefit of the people of St. Kitts and Nevis. This country is going to need experienced (and) strong leadership to take us through this period. I believe that my Party has demonstrated its ability to bring this leadership to the country, especially considering the serious transformation that is taking place in the country, as we move our economy away from its dependence on sugar-agriculture over the centuries, to what we see as the bright and exciting prospects of tourism and hospitality, information and technology and financial services,” said Dr. Douglas.

St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas has been comparing his administration’s current handling of electoral reform to that carried out by the previous People’s Action Movement (PAM) Administration.

“When they (PAM) had the opportunity to reform the electoral system in 1983, there was no consultation whatsoever, none whatsoever. There was no sharing of information in the way we are doing it today. The PAM electoral reform was done behind closed doors and then dropped like a bomb in Parliament within a few hours and the entire system was changed,” said Prime Minister Douglas, adding: “look at what we have done.”

The ruling St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Government consulted with the Washington-based Organisation of American States, the London-based Commonwealth Secretariat and the Georgetown-based CARICOM’s Secretariat.
