Earl Williams has resigned as opposition leader and political leader of the United Workers’ Party (UWP), a week after allegations of financial wrong doing surfaced.



He announced his decision this afternoon, saying that the UWP should not suffer as a result of his personal problems.



Williams has been embroiled in a scandal involving the misuse of close to US$91,000 given to him to purchase land in Dominica for a client based in the United States.
