Prime Minister of Dominica Roosevelt Skerrit
Roosevelt Skerrit has been sworn in as Prime Minister of Dominica for a record sixth consecutive term, promising to forge ahead with the "reset" plans that provided the blueprint for calling a general election two years ahead of the constitutional deadline.
Mr. Skerrit, who is 50 years old, led his ruling Dominica Labour Party to a convincing 19-2 majority in the 21 seat Parliament in an election that had been boycotted by the main opposition political parties, which complained about the lack of electoral reform and a clean voters list.
Mr. Skerrit, who first came to office in 2004, has hinted at stepping down in two years time.
He indicated that his Cabinet would be sworn into office on December 13.
Mr. Skerrit said he sought a fresh mandate on the economic recovery of the island which has in previous months been battered by the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters as well as ongoing global acts of terror and economic warfare.
