ROSEAU, Dominica (CMC) – Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit Saturday married Melissa Poponne, “his sweetheart for many years” according to an official statement.
The statement from the Office of the Prime Minister said that Skerrit, 40, and Melissa were married at the Bourne Roman Catholic Chapel, followed by a private reception at the Prime Minister’s private residence in Vieille Case.
The statement said the couple will leave on Sunday for a “short period” but gave no other details about the bride, the marriage or where the couple would be travelling to.
Skerrit, the leader of the ruling Dominica Labour Party (DLP), became prime minister following the death of then prime minister Pierre Charles in 2004.
