Still trying to rise above the several clouds of skeptism and claims of fraud, Dominica's Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit was sworn in to a 5-year term.

3 constituencies have challenged the May 5th results and the opposition United Workers Party has filed legal challenges to those results.

Skerrit’s Labour Party won 12 parliamentary seats, the UWP won 8, and an independent candidate got one. Skerrit said: "I am committed to ensuring that everyone will have a decent job and a decent standard of living. I will continue to represent the people of Dominica with the highest sense of integrity and honesty as we seek to bring prosperity to Dominica".

UWP leader Edison James is prepared to go to court over the election results where he claims that several irregularities including a UWP representative being forcibly removed from a polling station, and Labour party officials recruiting votes outside of polling stations.

Many Dominicans have called the election results fraudulent, where in the Castle Bruce constituency, the UWP's candidate lost by 1 vote after a recount. Prior to the recount, the candidate enjoyed a 22-vote lead…..hmmm…….does this sound fishy??

Opposition supporters demonstrated in front of Government Headquarters in Roseau, where charges of electoral fraud are growing louder and louder. Broadcasting mediums have been closed down and appear to be censured. So much for freedom of speech.

Mr. Skerrit counteracted, along with chief Elections Officer Merina Williams stating that the elections were clean, saying: “We are satisfied that the people received a government of their choice," he said.

Conspicuously though, the new Cabinet members were sworn in in the dark of night, including the new attorney General Ian Douglas; a nephew of former Prime Minister Rosie Douglas.
