THG Network is reporting that the executive of Nevis’ governing Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM) has elected Hon. Mark Brantley as the party’s new leader.
While Brantley’s nomination came last week during an executive meeting, he wasn’t elected until today (Mar. 26) at the party’s caucus, which was held at the Mount Nevis Hotel in the St. James Parish.
Brantley’s nomination was ratified at today’s caucus and will be formalised at the party’s convention when he will replace Nevis’ current Premier, Hon. Vance Amory, who held the post of CCM’s Party Leader since 1986. It is also important to note that there were no objections.
Other newly elected members of the executive are:-
Hon. Alexis Jeffers – Deputy Leader
Hon. Hazel Brandy-Williams – Party Chairperson
Keith Scarborough – Deputy Chairperson
Lorna Hunkins – Secretary
Oscar Walters – Treasurer
Timothy Caines – Public Relations Officer
No date has been set for CCM’s convention.
