There is still Team Unity but without Timothy: Shawn Richards

Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the People's Action Movement, Shawn Richards, gave a special national address on Tuesday. In his exclusive press briefing, he declared that there is still "Team Unity with or without Timothy". He declared that if "one man departs, and there remains all the others, or put differently if three parties make up Team Unity and one has drifted away, Team Unity remains with the 2 that continue to work together,". He was referring to the People's Action Movement and Concerned Citizens Movement. "As true patriots of these two small islands, we must never doubt our abilities and resilience to recover from even the most difficult experiences-like we suffered in COVID-19," said Shawn Richards. He stated that people should fear nothing because St Kitts & Nevis will continue to prosper in the coming future. "Have no fear because there will be continuity and stability," he emphasized. Furthermore, Shawn Richards stated that the philosophy that united Team Unity's approach is not dead, "Team Unity was and is a coalition of 3 parties-CCM, PAM and PLP,". Besides this, he stated that a motion of no confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Dr Timothy Harris is filed with the Clerk of Parliament. The motion of no confidence is filed by Deputy Prime Minister Shawn Richards and five of his other colleagues. Furthermore, referring to the coalition of PAM and CCM, Shawn Richards also listed a fourteen pillars agenda. On the other hand, Prime Minister Dr Timothy Harris remains calm on his social media accounts. But, he shared a post of his People's Labour Party (PLP), where the party's agenda of working together was clearly mentioned. He also shared a video from Team Unity's Facebook account where PAM Minister Lindsay Grant and Jonel Powell could be seen supporting Prime Minister Harris during the previous election campaigning.
