St. Kitts PM calls for apology

The St Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Denzil Douglas is calling for the Peoples Action Movement leader Lindsay Grant and leader of the parliamentary opposition Mark Brantley to apologise to the country's former attorney general Dennis Merchant.



The call came after the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court overturned a contempt of court ruling against Merchant.



Last year, a high court judge censured Merchant during a fiercely fought case about proposed changes to election boundaries.



Prime Minister Douglas says the Supreme Court ruling has vindicated the former attorney general.



However, opposition leader Brantley has said there is no need for an apology.
