Boundaries work continuing in St. Kitts

The governing Labour Party in St Kitts and Nevis said it expects a redrawing of boundaries work to continue despite the resignation of two of the five members of the country\'s Constituency Boundaries Commission.



Constitutional expert, Anthony Astaphan said the boundary changes work should not be derailed by the resignation of the two opposition MPs of the Concerned Citizens Movement who left the Commission on Monday.



Mr. Astaphan said that under the St Kitts and Nevis constitution the remaining members of the commission can continue the redrawing process.



Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Mark Brantley said while the last boundaries change exercise took eight months, the commission is now trying to rush the matter before the parliament dissolves in mid-December.
