Foreign Affairs Minister, Chet Greene, shared his thoughts on the results of Dominica’s general election and said that if he were Lennox Linton, he would resign immediately.
On Pointe FM, Greene pointed out that the Opposition Leader, Linton, lost the election because of his “hype”.
“Because he went into elections with his hype that he was the prime minister in waiting, that all was in his favor. He would have fooled many persons across this region, cause jitters among many more and then when results came out he was scrambling to hold on to even his own seat.” Greene explained.
Greene also highlighted that the margin by which Linton had won his seat was a clear indication of rejection on the part of the electorate and if it were him in Linton’s position, he would be “kissing this goodbye”.
The Dominica Labour Party (DLP) led by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has won an unprecedented fifth term in general elections in Dominica.
Dominicans went to the poll on December 6, 2019, amidst weeks of protest and court battles which ended on the eve of the elections with the court of appeal upholding the decision of the high court Judge of refusing to grant an injunction to stop the elections.
According to preliminary results of the election, the DLP won 18 of the 21 seats in the island’s parliament with the wife of the Prime Minister Melissia Skerrit comfortably winning the Roseau Central seat which has been a stronghold of the United Workers Party.

It’s appears the Caribbean politics have entered into a new era where PM and spouse are elected to office. Wow we are really heading into dark ages. What a recipe for disaster! What good the can this be for the citizenry?
Doesn’t matter who runs, it is THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE IN/OUT the candidates.
They are govern by the rule of law, it’s level playing field. The constitution gives every citizen the right to participate, as long as they qualified to do so .
This all started with Cheddi and Janet Jagan in Guyana. Nonetheless, the voters decide who they want. The voters have the final say. Look what the voters did to Lovell. The People rule.
Hon. Chet Greene I am Totally in agreement with you. Mr. Linton got caught up in the RHETORIC and lost control of His purpose . He should resign immediately or the Members should reject Him. This is exactly what will happen in Antigua and Barbuda. Harold Lovell and The UPP Executives at this present are caught up with the RHETORIC from Observer Radio with SERPENT , KNIGHT , CLEON ATHILL et AL so They have lost focus.
People must realize that you do not win election with NOISE , LIES , PREACHING TO THE SAME PEOPLE each night. You win Election by motivating your base and telling the Truth. The UPP will experience the same result as Dominica. Only Labour Parties can Govern the OECS Countries.
Labour Parties triumph when they are true to the democratic socialist ideals of their founders.
ALEX
You seem to lose focus yourself . Who elect the politicians ? Is the People !!!!!. So what the HELL you are talking about. All you BLUE KOOLAID drinkers are blaming because your RIGHT WING parties can not win election . Please find something to complain about. Join the UPP ….You Guys will be complaining FOREVER.
UPP must abandon their increasingly right wing ideology if they are ever going to form another government in Antigua.
Mr. Linton must present Himself as a Leader and stop hiding behind the FOOLS that like to cause DISTURBANCES. I believe that Mr. Linton got caught up with the RHETORIC coming out Observer Radio in Antigua . EVERYONE now knows that who SERPENT , KNIGHT ,CLEON ATHILL endorse will lose . Please keep that in mind for 2023 in Antigua and Barbuda. God Bless Hon. Gaston Browne (Prime Minister ) Antigua and Barbuda.

Lennox should resign. He is making him self look like a fool. He should realize that violence, disturbances and lies cannot win and election.
WHEN YOUR EYES SEE AND YOUR EARS HEAR AND U DID YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND NOT JUST ABSORB NONESENSE , NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WOULD AGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT, MONEY RUN THINGS IN DOMINICA , CBI MONEY USED FOE CAMPAIGN , ETC DO SOME RESEARCH , COME LEAVE IN DOMINICA CBI MONEY DIDNT GIVE DOMINICANS THOSE HOUSES IT WAS THE SALE OF DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS SOLD TO CRIMINALS WHO ARE PERSONAL FRIENDS OF THE PM SMH DO NOT LISTEN TO MISINFORMED DOMINICANS WHO DONT THINK AND JUST VOTE 🤔
I would like to a QUESTION ???
Is Cleon Athill a PHD? This Lady does not speak nor write to the standard of a PHD level. On Her Facebook page She always quoting Someone speech. She should write Her own. Whenever I listened to Her on MOVEMENT RADIO it is a TOTAL DISASTER. Can Someone enlightened me ?
@johnny harris, How would you know? Are you PHD???
Good question @Zackie.
The next question is WHERE did she get her “PhD”?
Mr Greene and the rest of Antigua you know norhing of politics in Dominica. You are speaking because our PM continue… while our best brains have to run to your island to survive. It benefits you to speak the way you do but Karma is a serious bitch. One day you will pay for what you caricom fakes do to Dominica.
ZACKIE
FOR YOUR INFORMATION….I AM A PHD. THAT IS WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION. YOU DID NOT ANSWER.
Thank you for your answer @ johnny harris
And where did you get your PhD???
You are so right Mr.Greene and based on the constitution which he always talks about he should know that the Dominica constitution says that any political leader who loses two consecutive general elections should step down as leader thats because they didn’t fullfill their duties, requirements or expectations as the leader. Mr. Lennox Linton step down and resign! You are too arrogant, selfish, stubborn and unmannered to lead us in Dominica and you killing the United Workers Party (UWP).

Do you think that’s what Little Bird and Sean have in mind? UPP does need a leader, big time.

This is fake news according to trump. No minister in another country would say something like this publicly about another country’s affairs. Whilst we are at it, why not suggest trump resign, in light of the impeachment saga?. Smh
Smh none of you have leaved in dominica to experience dominica hard ships , secondly Dominica ECONOMY’ was gone before the hurricane, Roosevelt stole the elections by bringing in voters that haven’t been in dominica for more than five years, if u support Roosevelt crimes u a also a criminal in the eyes of the dominican people
All of a sudden your mouth in our business 😤😤wicked set of people.
All female candidates for the labour party
Was given money from Roosevelt to bring in chatered flights with bribed voters illegal, this isn’t free and fear , we a not gonna set here and listen to ,telling us what’s wrong is right, and what’s right is wrong smh

Reading your comments on this page.There is no wonder Antigua looks like and smells like DUNG.And you people know what is DUNG.Clean up your own Dung House,Antigua.Before you tell others how and when to clean theirs.Antigua stinks and dirty.Politically and otherwise.
Black-Man
You sound like a SOLE LOSER . Please accepts the facts. I can tell you operate off of emotions . You would NOT be a good Cheerleader. The Opposition in Dominica are licking Their wounds . Go find and a Leader for your Opposition Party. Antigua does not fit your description. You are still enjoying what Antigua have to offer.
