ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Former prime minister Oliver Serpahin has rubbished reports that he is making a comeback into local politics.
“I have been resident abroad for the most part of the past six years and wish to state categorically that I have  at no time expressed a desire or demonstrated intent to form any other political organization for the forthcoming general elections in Dominica,” said Seraphin, who served as head of an interim government here between 1979-80.
The Sun newspaper reported recently that Seraphin, who formed his now defunct Democratic Labour Party in 1979 after resigning from the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) headed then by prime minister Patrick John, was eyeing a return to active politics and that members of the defunct party had expressed an interest in working with the main opposition United Workers Party (UWP) to unseat the administration of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.
