Prime Minister Mia Mottley has pushed back against criticism from Democratic Labour Party (DLP) leader Ralph Thorne over the timing of the upcoming general election, saying the process followed the law and that claims to the contrary are based on a misunderstanding.
Thorne raised concerns at the DLP’s islandwide rally on Saturday, arguing that the election was announced before the Electoral and Boundaries Commission (EBC) completed the voters’ list, which he said was not due until January 31. According to Thorne, the early election call created confusion and undermined the process.
