Opposition to challenge St. Kitts Elections

The opposition Peoples Action Movement (PAM) in St Kitts and Nevis says it intends challenging the outcome of Monday's general election in which Prime Minister Douglas' Labour Party retained power with a slightly reduced majority.

Labour won six of the eight seats on St Kitts with the other two going to PAM.

PAM leader Lindsay Grant lost by a mere 29 votes, and that's one of two results that officials of the party say they'll challenge in the high court.

Party chairman Cheslie Hamilton alleges that there were a number of irregularities that PAM wants addressed.
