Who in the Opposition would be Premier?

Members of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition stated that they have not yet decided who among them would become Premier if their push for an early election is successful and they win at the polls.

Despite experiencing a setback, the Opposition plans to initiate a motion of no confidence against Dr Natalio Wheatley’s administration so that the House of Assembly can be dissolved and an election called. During a press conference held by the Opposition on Tuesday, September 3, there was speculation about who would become Premier if their motion succeeds.

Leader of the Opposition Ronnie Skelton and 6th District Representative Myron Walwyn both asserted that a decision on this matter would be premature, as it would be up to the electorate to decide. “You’re asking a very pointed and difficult question,” Skelton stated.

Walwyn added, “I think we’re asking a question that preempts the people. We don’t know how many people (existing legislators) would have been returned by the poll. Those are decisions that you make after you see who is elected, you have your discussions and then you come up with a consensus.”
