BASSETERRE (Friday 11th December 2020) — St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party candidate for Constituency Eight Dr. Terrance Drew has filed a private lawsuit against PAM’s Eugene Hamilton on allegations of “bribery, treating and other corrupt practices” surrounding the 5th June 2020 general election. “I stand resolved that our democracy and country are worth fighting for and I will fight this to the very end and beyond. I will not rest until integrity in public life is operationalised, until there is true transparency, until victimisation no longer exists, until our people are truly free and that elections are free and fair and free from fear,” Dr. Drew said. Both candidates had contested the St. Christopher Eight seat, with Hamilton being declared the winner after a lengthy count period.
