He had succeeded Rosie Douglas who<br \/>\nhad himself passed on 1st October 2000, only eight (8) months after becoming Prime Minister. Rosie had won his election in Portsmouth in 2000 with 90.52% of the vote. Pierre Charles won his election in Grand Bay in 2000 with 80.4% of the vote and Ed Registe won his election in Grand Bay in 2019 with 87.89% of the vote. All three were champions, unrivalled in their popular support in their constituencies, dedicating their lives to service and had passed-on virtually at their desks.
