The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States is closely monitoring the electoral situation in the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis and the OECS Chairman Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerritt is in close contact with both Dr. Denzil Douglas Leader of the St. Kitts & Nevis Labour Party and Dr. Timothy Harris Leader of the Team Unity Party.
The OECS Authority has urged that the process of ballot counting be expedited so that the election results can be declared without delay and in keeping with principles of electoral transparency.
We urge all parties to maintain calm and to refrain from any announcements which may be injurious to the maintenance of public order and confidence in the electoral process.
