Re: Congratulations From the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party and the Parliamentary Opposition
Dear Prime Minister Skerritt:
On behalf of the Executive and Members of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ALP), and on behalf of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition in Parliament, I convey to you, Sir, our heartiest congratulations on your successful re-election on Friday past.
Your prudent and skilful management of the fiscal affairs of your country, your record of regional integration, and your determination to lead Dominica successfully through the global financial crisis have, no doubt, contributed to the Dominica Labour Party’s victory at the polls. These are difficult times for many of our CARICOM states, reducing thereby the chances of incumbent administrations winning re-election. Notwithstanding the circumstances, your philosophical and practical response to the challenges have endeared you, Sir, to the Dominican people, and caused them to strengthen their faith in your abilities. Congratulations!
I wish you continued success, Prime Minister. I also take this opportunity to wish you, Prime Minister, the new administration of the Dominica Labour Party, and the people of Dominica a very blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year. God Bless!
Very truly yours,
………………………………………
Hon. Lester B. Bird
Leader of the Opposition &
Political Leader of the ALP
