The event marked the celebration of the 70th Anniversary of the DLP, drawing a lively crowd of Dominican nationals. During his speech, Skerrit highlighted significant advancements in key sectors such as education, healthcare, housing, ecotourism, and geothermal energy, showcasing the progress made under the DLP’s leadership.
He underscored the importance of continued legislative reform and called on supporters to remain united and resilient in their efforts.
“If you’re red in Antigua, you are red in Dominica. If you are red in Dominica, you are red in Antigua,” Skerrit proclaimed, stressing the shared values and principles that connect the two nations. He expressed a strong desire for opportunities to be provided to those in need, fostering hope for a brighter future.
Skerrit’s remarks reinforced the commitment of both the DLP and the ABLP to present a strong, unified front during this vital period.
