Basseterre, St. Kitts: Just a month after its questionable loss in the June 2020 National Elections, St Kitts- Nevis Labour Party began its much-needed internal self-assessment as the oldest active political party in the country.
One of the oldest political party in the Commonwealth; the 89-year-old St Kitts-Nevis Labour Party on May 16th, just shy of a year's worth of nationwide engagement and consultation, has met its goal of restructuring the party and preparing for Leadership transition. The party has spent the last year in deliberate and meaningful consultation with the rank and file of its members and supporters to determine the strategic pathway towards a winnable future, with a resilient party.
The 2021 May Constitutional Conference presented SKNLP membership with a singular agenda: a 12-part resolution for constitutional reform, detailing needed changes for modernizing the party, expanding the
membership, and facilitating the expansion of the National Executive, standardising the operational and administrative arms of the party and its branches.
Having consulted with the branches over the past year, the National Executive was confident that the proposals (derived solely from consultation and engagement) would meet the needs of the membership and supporters of the strongest political institution in the Eastern Caribbean.
SKNLP stated that the yearlong series of engagement revealed the need for more inclusive decision making, branch reorganization, greater efficiency in list management, increase in membership, expansion of officers with two positions Vice Chairmanship, two Deputy Leaders, Regional Branches, the inclusion of new positions such as a National List Manager.
According to the Chair of SKNLP, while other parties spend this critical time battling for leadership promised and not sanctioned by the voting public, the SKNLP has spent its time in opposition to restructure, rebrand, regroup, and revitalize. A Party that is serious about leadership focuses on listening to its supporters and this was the mandate of SKNLP.
St Kitts and Nevis Labour party announced the establishment of the National Leadership Transition Council, the PR Working Group,is the Elections Audit Committee, the Strategic Development Group, and the Finance Restructuring Committee, which were key steps in meeting the membership’s request for change, modernization, and improvement of the SKNLP.
Each committee established by the National Executive and sanctioned by the membership through consultations, focus groups strategy sessions, retreats, and listening to comments from the public of 10000+ supporters, according to the Leader of the SKNLP, the Rt. Hon. Dr Denzil Douglas, was the needed pathway to ensure that the Party would once again be able to meet the needs of the people of St Kitts and Nevis.
