Dominica’s PM to Connect with Nationals in Antigua Amidst Election Speculations

Published

This week, Dominica’s Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, will visit Antigua and Barbuda for a meet-and-greet event on Friday with Dominicans living on the island. According to the DLP, this engagement is part of their 70th % anniversary celebrations.

Over the past weekend, the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) hosted a significant rally, which drew thousands of enthusiastic supporters, demonstrating the party’s mobilization efforts. The Prime Minister has also garnered support from other regional leaders, including Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley, underscoring a show of solidarity among Caribbean nations.

      I hope when he gets there he takes a leaf from Gastons page where running his country is concerned. They can’t beat Gastons leadership even if they try. Dominicana ran away from Skerrit into the arms of Gaston and he is trying to get them to come back and cheat and return? No cheating. No one night stands. We not returning to vote

    Wait…What? Is this even legal? Might I humbly suggest Mr. Dominican Prime Minister Sir, that you consult with our esteemed Prime Minister Browne as to how to improve the lives of your citizens? Maybe then they’ll stay home and vote for you. CHUPS!!!
