The date for the general elections has been declared by Dr. Timothy Harris, prime minister of St. Kitts and Nevis. Harris stated that the country will have elections on August 5, 2022—just four days before the deadline set forth in the constitution—during a gathering for the campaign’s kickoff in constituency number 7 on Sunday.
The People’s Labour Party will be our winning message as we canvass neighbourhoods and knock on doors to convince citizens to vote for us so that we may return to power with a historic triumph, on eight seats, he said, referring to the announcement of the general elections.
He described the People’s Labour Party as the nation’s newest political force that is creating waves and claimed that St. Kitts and Nevis is set to begin on an amazing adventure with them. Thousands of people attended the campaign rally, which Harris hailed as a triumph. “We are the only party addressing to the people’s issues, creating jobs, and improving the economy; we are the only party that can declare that we will actually safeguard the people of St. Kitts and Nevis.”
Targeting the opposition parties, the prime minister claimed that their campaigns were entirely around stories of resentment and misunderstanding. The People’s Labour Party welcomes everyone to work with us to create a better St. Kitts and Nevis, I say to the residents of St. Kitts and Nevis.
He said, “They abandoned you when they refused to come for cabinet on behalf of people, they abandoned you when they refused to be empathetic for the people. They abandoned you years ago.”
“We are the people’s champions. We will continue to work for the people because for us the honour of representation and the privilege of serving as the minister is one that we never take lightly,” he said, adding that the People’s Labour Party would implement the best policies and programmes and move the nation forward.
