Opposition Leader threatens to bring government down

The main opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) in St Vincent says it will use its position in the new Parliament to force the Ralph Gonsalves government to call fresh general elections within a one year period.



NDP leader Arnhim Eustace who has already called for the results of the December 13 general elections to be declared null and void says his party will bring the government down and have free and fresh elections.



He told party supporters this week that the opposition legislators intend to keep the fire burning when the new Parliament convenes in January.



The ULP won a third consecutive five-year term on Monday with a one-seat majority in the 15-member Parliament.



The other seats were won by the NDP.
