The St. Kitts/Nevis Party’s candidate for Constituency# 5, Dr. Norgen Wilson said Sandy Point is not a strong hold for the People’s Action Movement (PAM) as many would have believed.

"Sandy Point for Labour is totally winnable. I think we had a great opportunity. Sandy Point is marginal and I think for the first time in a very long time, we have had so many persons actually coming out and voting for the Labour Party in Sandy Point," he said during an interview last Tuesday afternoon.

Following the general elections (25 Jan.,) Shawn Richards of the People’s Action Movement’s (PAM) retained his seat by some 143 votes.

Dr. Wilson thanked all of his fellow constituents who rallied behind him, gave support and cast their votes for him on polling day.

He suggested that the race toward the ballot count between himself and Richards would have been even tighter had the overseas voters been able to return or stay to exercise their democratic franchise.

Furthermore, he is of the view that intimidation was also a factor which crippled the confidence of many Labour Party supporters who chose to stay at home on Elections Day.

Dr. Wilson believes it would have been good if Constituency #5 would have had a Labour Party representative elected to Parliament.
