St Lucia PM not bothered by second resignation

St Lucian Prime Minister Stephenson King has brushed aside suggestions that the resignation of a second parliamentarian from his ruling United Workers Party is an indication of turmoil within his party ahead of the general elections later this year.



Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly Marcus Nicholas, resigned earlier this week.



Commenting on the development King said that while he has not received any formal correspondence from the representative for the Micoud North constituency, it was Nicholas’s right to leave the party.



The Prime Minister said his administration had attached little significance to the action taken by Nicholas adding that his focus was on the development of the country.
