Denzil Douglas wins fourth term

(BBC) Prime Minister Denzil Douglas has won a fourth term. The governing St Kitts and Nevis Labour Party is back in power for a fourth successive term after Monday’s general election.

The party has won six of the nine seats declared by 6 a.m local time.

In the last vote, in 2004, Labour won seven of the seats allotted to St Kitts in the Parliament and People’s Action Movement got the other.

The Nevis-based Con-cerned Citizens Movement won two seats, and the Nevis Reformation Party took one.

A Labour Party victory in the undeclared seat on St Kitts would be a repeat of the 2004 result.

PAM leader, Lindsay Grant, failed again in his bid to enter parliament.
