BASSETERRE, St.Kitts (Friday 22nd May 2020) — Well-known public figure Sam Condor has quit his relationship with the Team Unity government and is asking voters to be guided by their conscience in the upcoming 5th June 2020 General Elections. He is now refreshing his support for the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP), which he left in January 2013.
At a press conference held at OOJJ’s Conference Center in Camps on Thursday 21st May 2020, he made an address as “citizen Sam Condor,” having announced his resignation as St. Kitts-Nevis Ambassador to the United Nations — an appointment he held since October 2015.
“Regrettably, they have failed to implement the good governance agenda that was our mantra of 2015. These good governance measures were deemed urgent and necessary to strengthen our democracy and to end the vicious cycle of recrimination, hostility and tribalism among our people. Unfortunately, we have not seen the focus necessary to address this level of divisiveness in our society and if anything our society is more divided now than it has ever been,” Condor noted.
“I therefore intend to challenge any status quo that does not accord to the principles of fairness and justice; this I’ve done all my life for I deem it essential, indispensable to our continued progress and development as society and people,” he said. Condor previously served as Deputy Prime Minister in the Dr. Denzil Douglas-led SKNLP administration between 1995 and 2013, and was a co-founder of the People’s Labour Party.
