Opposition writes Governor General; wants motion of no confidence debated

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, CMC – Opposition Leader Mark Brantley Tuesday said he has written Governor General Sir Edmund Lawrence indicating that opposition legislators will vote in support of a motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas.
The move by the opposition leader, which also has the support of two former government ministers – former deputy prime minister Sam Condor and senior government minister Dr. Timothy Harris – is the latest strategy being employed to force the National Assembly to debate the motion of no confidence that the opposition said had been “duly submitted to the Clerk of the National Assembly since the 11th December 2012”.
Brantley said that he had informed the head of state that the six of the 11 legislators “do not support” Dr. Douglas as prime minister.
