Two days after the historic fourth time winning of the St. Kitts and Nevis Labour Party, the Leader of the party Hon. Dr. Denzil Douglas for the fourth time was sworn in as the Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis on Wednesday January 27th 2010. SKNLP won 6 of the 11 seats in the National Assembly at Monday’s poll.

To many Kittitians and Nevisians, the re-electing of labour party into office denotes that the change they crave for didn’t come to fruition, while for the majority they see no need for change. It would appear that the people of the Twin-Island Federation are satisfied with the work that he and his Government have done for almost two decades.

During a ceremony attended by several successful Labour Party candidates, senior Labour Party officials and supporters, government functionaries, members of the diplomatic and consular corps and family members including his daughter, Dr. Andrea Douglas; Prime Minister Douglas took the Oath of Allegiance and the Oath of Office.

“I Dr. Denzil Llewellyn Douglas, do swear, that I will honour, uphold and preserve, the Constitution of St. Christopher and Nevis and the Law, that I will conscientiously, impartially and to the best of my ability, discharge my duties as Prime Minister, and do right to all manner of people, without fear or favour, affection or ill will. So help me God,” said Fourth Term Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas as he took the Oath of Allegiance.
