ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – The ruling Dominica Labour Party (DLP) stayed on course for a third consecutive victory after it won the Castle Bruce constituency, according to preliminary figures released here.
Chairman of the Castle Bruce Village Council, Johnson Drigo, 42, beat back a challenge from environmentalist Bernard Wiltshire of the United Workers Party (UWP) to win the seat by a 849 to 689 margin, and give the DLP a 3-1 lead in the seats so far declared.
Independent candidate Jacqueline Theodore received just seven votes.
The DLP has won the Morne Jaune/Riviere, Salybia and Castle Bruce constituencies, while the UWP has won the Salisbury seat.
A total of 62 candidates are vying to take control of the 21 seat Parliament, and the preliminary figures show that the DLP is leading in Vielle Case, Colihaut, Mahaut, Roseau Central and Portsmouth.
The Dominica Freedom Party (DFP), which is the other major party contesting the elections, is not fearing well, with its leader, Judith Pestaina, a former international public servant facing a huge defeat in the Roseau Central constituency.

one flag
one people
one nation.
Skerrit poster say TAKING DOMINICA TO THE NEXT LEVEL . let hope is the right level, and not the LEVEL TO HELL. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
mjm u are a stress reliever.u have me laughing.This year i will be graduating with my masters degree from china so what u want to talk about.I did not need anything to vote the DLP and further more i was not home to vote so when u come talking your shit hold it to yourself..Good trees bear good fruits so very soon we will be harvesting. jajajajajaja shame on you,my Job is sure and my bread will be well buttered.sakway kopawazon que pa vo arien.
You MJM please answer the questions tarcios pacquete ask..nonsense,magway sa di on bagay anteresa ou kani paley betiz.
i see noone was able to respond to tarcious parquette when he asked who if not the dominica labour party and why?i would like to add that the reason i voted labour is not for handouts cause i doe even kno what skerrit office looking like but when i see the amount of progress taking place throughout dominica then i had no doubt….also the uwp plans were to remove corruption and 20 unattainable pledges which only fooled marigot,salisbury,la plain(maybe) and roseau central(maybe) people.i am pround to say that i have voted the dominica labour party
but i dont understand you people, there are three parties going up for a chance to win. the proud and loving D,L,P ——— the cheating stealing and not forgeting trouble making under , w , panty and the D,F,P so the best party wins get over it and esp for those of you who talks about red cross clicnic do you give head yourself ? or have you been given Head by someone of the same sex there, why are you so angry get over your self , once again power power power to the people who was and still is wise to vote for labour. labour power oh yes try this on for size
Mr pm congrats again. refresh your memeory to penville feast where i was standing infront of you and u. All those girls that was afraid to dance with u and you said this one you want to dance with. Thats me i wish you merry christmas
dimples i will tell you for the rest of us you are just ignorant, all the sewo is almost over whre will you have to go eh? you will still be without a job going to the red clinic giving HEAD for a dollar . what will you gain for your vote more misery and lies , one thing I know skerrit don,thqve Dominicans interest at heart not for a minute, all he wanted was the mandate to put do what he does best LIE , the whole world knows now what dominica stands for , shame shame shame on you and your family for being such IDIOTS, for a turkey some rum, venezuelan rice, and a fews dollar you sold your souls ,go think a bout it , and while you at it think about all the people in china who have to suffer so that skerrit could get the money to buy an election in Dominica, blood money enjoy while it last my child for tommorow is another day.
We the people of DOMINICA love to say,”LETS WORK TOGETHER” but what i do not understand is that, when our LEADERS are told they are going the wrong way they intend to think we are not on their side. Where there is wrong say it is wrong, vise verser. God gave us a choice and so, who ever is in power it is us who made it happen, not God, He only allowed our choice/s to be seen one way or the other.
THIS GOES OUT TO SOME OF THE UWP SUPPORTERS WHO ALWAYS PUT GOD IN THIER STATEMENT….
IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT GOD YOU WOULD SEE THAT HE IS AT WORK RIGHT NOW. SOME OF US PASS WHAT HE IS DOING CAUSE WE ARE TOO BUSY CAUSING TROUBLE……..
ONCE AGAIN
…………………CONGRATULATION TO THE PM AND HIS MEMBERS…………….
…………………AND BIG CONGRATS TO DR KENNETH DARROUX……………………….
YOU CAN DO BELIVE IN YOUR HEART LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO MY SUPPORT IS RIGHT NEXT YOU WE LOVE YOU……….
GOD THANKS FOR KEEPING BOTH EYES ON THE DLP…….

I am a Dominican living abroad and I would like to extend congratulations to the DLP and the people of Dominica on the election results. Obviously, the voters are satisfied with the performance of the government. Democracy should be cheerished and praised. The people have spoken. So, let it be respected. Once again, best wishes to Prime Minister Skerrit and the people of Dominica.
To hannah,, am a proud dominican, and let me tell u me,my family and Dominicans in general did not have to receive anything to vote for the labour party .It is as clear as crystal to see what is taking place in Dominica. Every constituency you go to there is a change.We care about the elderly.well probably u have not heard about the yes we care programme. wow!! look at the air port,Take a trip to the Carib territory.If i have to continue you i will go on and on.Stop staying in your little corner house and go and see for yourself so that another person would not have to tell you .Bondieu moun workers a nwese tojour ebe ma save qui jour yo ke wer clete.jajajajaja you telling me i probably sell my soul for a few dollars. But i find it good.hm mm.For how much did you sell your soul?I guess for one cent.something that cannot even buy a mint.what color is your heart?well if it is blue then there is justification that in there existe hatred.. boy boy boy them people just really make me laugh.Comments from the united workers party supporters are like stress reliever.Thanks to Dominicanewsonline.
well i’m happy labour win bcus i didn’t want to go back to workers time wen my salary would come almost the middle of the other month and my interest on my mortgage go up and my money from my savings had to go towards payin that interest.If workers had won DOMINICA would finish.
DOMINICAN HAVE A HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR AND WISHING U YOUR SILENT SILENT SHUT UP
2010. GOOD LUCK!
well well castle bruce was clear this time no doubts there this time. lets pray that we will see more development.
lol
workers was taught a lesson especially in the castle Bruce constituency
uwp had hopes that they would retain this seat but little did they know.
i know all that screamin thurday nite was their last supper.
labour all the way..
My friend when you say Dominicans satisfied you need to make it clear which set of Dominicans. Is it those living in Dominica or is it those who came in by the Plane load and boat loads. Those who Skerrit provided transportation for from the Seaport and Airport and dropped them to the polling stations to do his dirty work. If at all they had not arrived, the results would have been different. Anyway the reality is they came, they did what they had to do and starting today they will begin to return to their homes in the US Canada, U K and the many Caribbean islands. And guess what you and I will remain in our naiive state waiting for hand outs from them and from Skerrit so MORE POWER TO THEM AND SKERRIT. But remember EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY. Today you are happy even more you are ON TOP OF THE WORLD. but the day of reckoning is coming. I KNOW THE GOOD LORD WILL WORK OUT HIS PLAN.
i have one question…… if not the dominica labour party which party???? and why??? i need for someone to tell me genuinly y not labour…..
WELL ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS LABOUR POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR,
AND TO ALL THE HATERS BOO HOO YOU FEEL ME¨?
Daddy Chess Could not have said it better if he tried FOOOOOOOOOOOOrward WE GO WITH LABOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My president is black and Skerrit ain’t true….dominicans are confused….lol.
17 seats???? Come on people, this is a clear message, which states that the people of Dominica is satisfied with the ruling party DLP. Stop being sore losers and just accept it for what it is….. Job Well done Dominicans. Mud slinging and mepwi will get u nowhere but it certainly placed Labour Party at the next level…. SOMETHING IS REALLY HAPPENING!!!!!
congrats mr BLACKMOORE
Dimples! stop i can bet you are not in Dominica so shut up CastleBruce ppl what? we can all celebrate, then what, how much did your family get for a vote? many sleepless night are come to Dominica wait and see, selling your souls to the DEVIL for a few dollars .
To bouche cabrit your name really fit you.Only a goat with long mouth and a long dirty tongue full of green leaves stain that could make suck comments. a great thinking person with a human mouth would not think that way.u all just have big grain and small brain.Are you blind to see what’s taking place in this country.Are u deaf that u cannot hear.?well who ever u are i know the feeling ,its painful for you.cry it out and take out that lump in your throat.say your little prayers and go to sleep.may God bless you.
I miss the thumb sign
if labour did not win some was would happend in d/a
when one make mistakes they live and sometimes die by it and see plenty misery . A lot of Dominicans like misery that why this decision was made. all i can say good luck to all those that was part of that decision, and i feel sorry for those who was not, i do hope there is a big change in D/A . believe me i wish u all lots and lots of luck and all the best for i do’nt see this 4 years ahead looking promising. and that a dam long time to see misery as they say u look for it u get it . Praise God am not part of it . Good luck people.
whoeve that is bouch cbrit stop beinga hater. Wat did workers eer do for you. Its time yooou ll people start thinking out of the box and not inthe box. Open you al eyes there is development on the way. And by the way instead if we remebering what the prime minister say he going to give, we as a people shold start to help ourselves. Be independent ad stop rely on him. He is human just like me and you.
concerned1 YOU KNOW IT TAKES one to know one
dont compare our president (obama)with skerit
I am glad DLP is winning, because i heard Skerrit was half Gwada, so go DLP!! Represent!!
Stop being a sore loser, the best thing to do is to congratulate the winner and work together for a better future for all of us, it’s hard all over the world with the economic times we are living in, but if we all work together regardless of who wins, we will keep our Country with a strong economy. Congratulations to all the winners and to the Dominica Labour Party.
well if is so then there will be alot of hard times ahead for the dominican people.
MAYBE LABOUR DIDN’T WANT YOU TO BE ONLINE SO THAT WE COULDN’T EXPRESS OUR VIEWS!
