BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (Friday 21st May 2021) — SKNLP Leader Dr. Denzil Douglas has rated the party’s Constitutional Conference held on Sunday 16th May 2021 at the Marriott Hotel a success. The conference was conducted in two parts — an opening public session and a closed business session — and presented a 12-part resolution for constitutional reform addressing leadership roles and responsibilities, the administrative support structure, and the operational arms of the party and its branches.
“The conference has been a very successful one. A lot of the teething problems we’ve had over the years have been settled here after months of consultations both within the party and outside, bringing people who have not always been close to the centre of the party — practising inclusiveness,” Dr. Douglas said. “It also now signals that after the party has stratified itself at the leadership level, its roles and responsibilities, the administrative support level, the party is now ready for battle.”
Chairman Dr. Terrance Drew, who presided over the opening session, said: “No other party in St. Kitts and Nevis can boast of this as the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party” — referring to the consultative, branch-level process that preceded the conference. He thanked all who contributed to the months of preparation and said the executive is “a consultative executive who listens” to party members.
