Dominica is set to elect its first female head of state when Parliament meets on September 12 to elect a replacement for President Charles Savarin, whose 10-year term in office ends in October.
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said the Dominica Constitution provides for consultation between the head of government and the Opposition Leader on the selection of a candidate.
Prime Minister Skerritt named Sylvanie Burton, a member of the island's indigenous population, as his nominee to become the 11th head of state.
