CASTRIES, St.Lucia, CMC-Leader of the opposition United Workers Party (UWP), Stephenson King, says he is ready to make a claim for re-election to the leadership of the party as it prepares for its July convention.
The former Prime Minister’s  announcement came in the wake of a declaration by his former Tourism Minister Allen Chastanet that he is giving serious thought to mounting a challenge to King’s leadership.
Chastanet told a TV audience this week that he had been approached by several persons within and outside the party to contest the leadership, and had agreed to do so as long as he could muster adequate support from delegates.
