Dominica’s Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skeritt has dispelled rumours that he will call early elections.

He told members of the annual delegates conference of the ruling Dominica Labour Party (DLP) that he has no intention of calling early elections as contended by opposition members.

He said that elections will be held on the constitutionally due date in 2014.

Skeritt has been asked to stand down on the grounds that he had dual citizenship – Dominica and France.

He has, nevertheless, been re-elected as leader and president of the DLP.
