President-elect Savarin defends his election
Oct 02, 2013
ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC - President-elect Charles Savarin has defended his election even as Opposition Leader Hector John said he would snub the head of state and boycott all functions officiated by him.
Savarin, 70, who is expected to be sworn in to office later this week, was elected by the Dominica parliament by a 19-0 margin after opposition legislators boycotted the event on Monday.
But the former trade unionist, teacher and diplomat, told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) that his election, contrary to the arguments put forward by the opposition was in keeping with the provisions outlined in the Dominica Constitution.
