TENTIONS FOR NEXT ELECTION

Prime Minister Mitchell Hints Intentions For Next Election

Prime Minister Dr. the Right Hon. Keith Mitchell hints that the possibilities are high that he will contest the next general elections, which are constitutionally due in 2023.

He made the announcement during a recent special interview with Members of the media.

Dr. Mitchell’s political career began in the 1980’s. He became Prime Minister from 1995 – 2008, then again in 2013 to present, making his ruling New National Party the only political party to obtain landslide victories.

Dr. Mitchell said his retirement was discussed with his cabinet colleagues, however, once he is in good health when the time comes around, he will represent his constituents.

“I think there are rationales based on my own colleagues’ views and general perception and that it might be the right time after the next election to hand over the reins to someone. So it looks highly likely that I would certainly run, unless of course I have some health issues or some physical problems.”
