St. Kitts-Nevis Parliament dissolved
Prime Minister Dr Timothy Harris on Wednesday night announced the dissolution of the St. Kitts and Nevis parliament, paving the way for general elections. The Prime Minister did not announce an election date.
In a nationally televised address, Prime Minister Harris said:
“We are a country governed by laws and our Constitution is our supreme law. Our Constitution is very clear. Every parliament shall continue for five years from the date of the first sitting of the National Assembly after an election and shall then end unless sooner dissolved. It is now almost some five years since that first sitting, and I have yesterday advised His Excellency, the Governor-General, Sir S. W. Tapley Seaton, to dissolve the National Assembly as from Tuesday, the 12th May, 2020 and he has graciously consented.”
