Opposition legislators say they will not give legitimacy to government
Jul 18, 2013
BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, CMC – Opposition legislators Wednesday said they will continue to boycott sittings of the National Assembly since they have no intention of providing legitimacy to the Denzil Douglas administration.
The six opposition legislators, claiming to be the “united elected majority” stayed away from parliament which approved an amendment to the National Assembly Election Act that Prime Minister Dr. Douglas said would improve the democracy in the twin-island Federation.
Leader of the newly formed People’s Labour Party (PLP), Dr. Timothy Harris said the opposition would stay away as a result of the continued subversion of democracy in the country.
