The people of Nevis have re-elected the ruling Concerned Citizen’s Movement (CCM) for a second consecutive term.
This time the CCM widened its margin of victory over the Joseph Parry-led Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) winning four of the five seats up for grabs.
The new leader of the CCM, Mark Brantley, will be sworn in as premier of the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) government.
The polls opened at 7 am yesterday to heavy showers; however, by midmorning the skies were clear and most polling stations saw a slow trickle of voters. Those numbers picked up late in the afternoon when people finished working.
In his victory speech, Brantley announced that today would be declared a public holiday for Nevis.
