ROSEAU, Dominica – High Court judge Gretel Thom today ruled that Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and his Education Minister Petter Saint Jean were qualified to contest the 2009 general elections.
The judge handed down her ruling in the case brought against Prime Minister Skerrit and his Education Minister Petter Saint Jean by the leader of the United Workers Party (UWP), Ron Green and Maynard Joseph.
The two opposition politicians had asked the court to declare that both Skerrit and Saint Jean were illegally nominated to contest the December 2009 general election because they held dual citizenship at the time. (CMC)
