BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (Friday 8th April 2022) — Two newly announced candidates of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP) namely Marsha Henderson (Constituency Two — Central Basseterre) and Samal Duggins (Constituency Four) complete the opposition party’s eight-member team going into the next General Elections following the candidate selection process. Both were officially introduced to the public during the party’s ‘On De Block’ rally event held on Sunday 3rd April 2022, at the CUNA Parking Lot on Wilkin Street in the West Basseterre community, which saw scores of party supporters gathered sporting the party’s red colour.
Party Leader Dr. Terrance Drew described the SKNLP as being “innovative” in highlighting the mix of candidates: “When you look at the Labour team, the Labour team has the best mix of any political party in St. Kitts and Nevis — doctors, lawyers, teachers, farmers, accountants, sportsmen. What a team! And on top of that we have good leadership and good mentorship from a leader who was there for over 30 years.”
Henderson, a lawyer by profession, said: “I am proud to be among the slate of dynamic, progressive men and women with a solid team who will pursue plans and policies that will put the people of Central Basseterre at the centre of our economy, the centre of our health system and the centre of our education system. I will be part of a united cabinet working together towards one vision and speaking with one voice. Central Basseterre deserves good leadership and proper representation, and I Marsha Tamika Henderson would do just that.” Farmer entrepreneur Duggins said he had spent the “last few years listening and talking with you, growing and being inspired by you” and stood ready to “fight for the hopes and dreams of every young man and woman, every ghetto youth and all the good people of number four.” Duggins replaces Steve Wrensford as the candidate for Constituency Four.
