The premier of Nevis and leader of the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM), Mark Brantley, has extended his best wishes to the newly elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss on her appointment.
Premier Brantley took to his Social Media to extend the warmest greetings to the newly elected Prime Minister and her new government.
The Premier of Nevis, Mark Brantley wrote:
Congratulations to the new Prime Minister of the #UK HE Liz Truss. The orderly transfer of power in the UK from one Prime Minister to another without the need for a general election is an excellent demonstration of a mature democracy. I am hopeful that closer UK #Caribbean relations will be high on the agenda of the new Prime Minister, and I wish her government every success.
He commended the way the United Kingdom was able to manage the transfer of power of ruling the country from one Prime Minister to their successor without the need to involve the people. He went on to call it a demonstration of a mature democracy.
Mary Elizabeth Truss, who is better known to her political peers as Liz Truss, was chosen as the next Prime Minister of The United Kingdom after she won the election against her political opponent Rishi Saunak.
Truss was the Foreign Secretary under the leadership of Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. He had to resign from his position following an extended length of complaints from the people of the United Kingdom. His career, largely maligned with scandal and corruption, had lost favour with the Lawmakers of the United Kingdom.
Before Premier Brantley, Opposition Leader and the leader of the People’s Labour Party, Dr Timothy Harris, had taken to his Facebook and Twitter to congratulate the newly elected leader of the Conservative Party and the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on her appointment.
