A renowned politician and former ambassador to the United Nations, Sam Condor organised a press conference in St Kitts and Nevis where he talked about his current political support. Mr Condor stated that he wanted to support the people of St Kitts and Nevis, which is why he resigned as the ambassador of the United Nations. Condor's resignation comes two weeks before the country goes into parliamentary elections on June 05. St Kitts and Nevis is under a state of emergency for a prolonged period of six months, and Sam Condor stated that the state of emergency is not suitable for the upcoming general elections because it restricts the rights of citizens and even the opposition. He noted that state of emergency is not necessary and the government must do something about it before the people go to poll on June 05. He stated that he is not on war with anybody and have never been in such a situation since he joined politics in 1989. He added that every individual must do what they can for the development of their nation. Speaking about leaving the Team Unity party, he stated that they were not following the agenda of good governance, which was the sole reason they won elections in 2015. He said that he was upset with their lack of management. Furthermore, Sam Condor also stated he is registered in East Basettere where he will be supporting St Kitts and Nevis Labour Party's Geoffery Hanley. Sam Condor renewed his school days and stated that he used to go to school without shoes and still he went to university because people of St Kitts and Nevis made it possible for him which is why he wants to do all he can for the nation. Answering the media questions about leaving PLP, he asserted that he is not sure if he left PLP or they showed him out. In answer to another question by the media personnel, Mr Condor stated that he doesn't think if the government should open its borders for the diaspora to contribute in the democracy of St Kitts and Nevis. He stated this any such event would over burden the health sector.
