Prime Minister hints at early poll, wants clean sweep

ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has hinted at an early general election and has already told supporters that he intends to follow the record set by Grenada’s ruling New National Party (NNP) of a clean sweep of the seats in the upcoming poll.
Speaking at a public meeting to thank supporters for the three years of legal battles to determine whether or not he and his Education Minister Petter Saint Jean were legally nominated to contest the last general election, Skerrit said that he wants the main opposition United Workers Party (UWP) to remain in opposition for another five year term.
“I want my revenge for three years of strain and stress to be a thorough and comprehensive whipping of the United Workers Party whenever the next election is held,” he said, adding “I am serving notice from tonight that we are working to get back our three wasted years.
