BASSETERRE, St Kitts, CMC – Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris says the Parliament in the twin-island Federation has been dissolved but he has kept nationals in the dark as to when he would announce the date for the next general election that must be held by August 14.

In a national broadcast on Wednesday night, Harris, who is expected to lead his coalition Team Unity administration into the polls, said he had asked the Governor-General, Sir S. W. Tapley Seaton, to dissolve the National Assembly from Tuesday, May 12.

Let us stay together and see this through,” Harris said in the broadcast in which he outlined the successes of his administration since defeating the St Kitts-Nevis Labour Party in the last general election five years ago.

Harris said that he wanted every citizen to “consider these elections seriously, soberly and with maturity.

“My fellow citizens and residents, I thank you for the opportunity to serve you, and I express to you my really nice to serve you again as Prime Minister with even greater vigor and skill steeped in experience and commitment,” he added.
