The leader of the opposition United Workers Party, UWP,
in Dominica
has resigned.
Earl Williams announced his resignation Wednesday one week after the UWP said it was concerned about allegations of financial wrongdoing levelled against him.
Mr. Williams, who was elected as UWP leader in November 2005 to replace former prime minister Edison James, broke his silence on charges that he had not been able to account for over just over $US90, 000 he received to purchase land on the island's west coast for a client based in the United States.
Mr. Williams said he had already informed Dominica's President N.J Liverpool of his decision.
Meanwhile, UWP Deputy Leader Ron Green will take over the duties that were assigned to Mr. Williams pending his own confirmation in the post.
