CASTRIES, St Lucia (CMC) – Prime Minister Dr Kenny Anthony is confident of victory at the upcoming polls.

After filing his nomination papers on Saturday, Anthony declared that his ruling Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) is confident and ready for the the June 6 general election.

“The machinery is in place,  we know we can and we will  and we will not be intimidated. We will conduct ourselves peacefully but what ultimately matters is the ballot box,” Anthony said .

The Prime Minister, who represents the constituency of Vieux Fort South, said he believed the people will express their confidence in him.

“We have had a wonderful relationship,” he asserted.

Anthony said he and his team are well organised and prepared to go.

At the same time he explained that he takes all of his opponents seriously, no matter who they are.

Questioned on the matter of term limits for Prime Ministers, Anthony noted that it was an old issue.

He recalled having said in the past that the democratic process must not be frustrated.

“It is not for individuals to decide how many terms we should have,.”

Ahead of the June 6 general election, the advance poll that allows election day workers, police and fire personnel will take place on June 3.
