Inniss is new DLP general secretary

DONVILLE INNISS is the new general secretary of the ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP).
The Minister of Industry, International Business, Commerce and Small Business Development secured 173 votes at the party’s annual conference, held over the weekend at the DLP’s George Street Auditorium – just two more votes than incumbent George Pilgrim  – to become one of five Cabinet ministers to hold positions  on the executive.
Prime Minister Freundel  Stuart was returned to the position  of president unopposed while  Chris Sinckler was elected first  vice-president, John Boyce second vice president and Richard Sealy third vice president. Verla Depeiza,  the DLP’s unsuccessful candidate for Christ Church West in the  last general elections, was  elected fourth vice-president.
Senator Andre Worrell now  holds the position of assistant general secretary. (DP)
