  • SAINT LUCIA Dates of Elections: 6 and 30 April 1987 Purpose Of
    SAINT LUCIA Dates of Elections: 6 and 30 April 1987 Purpose of Elections General elections were held on 6 April 1987 on the normal expiry of the Parliament's term, but the close polling results did not provide either one of the main contending parties with a clear mandate. The legislature was therefore dissolved on 14 April and new elections took place on 30 April. Characteristics of Parliament The bicameral Parliament of Saint Lucia consists of a Senate and a House of Assembly. The Senate is composed of 11 members appointed by the Governor-General: 6 on the advice of the Prime Minister, 3 on the advice of the Leader of the Opposition, and 2 on the basis of the Governor-General's "own deliberate judgement" after undertaking various consultations. The House of Assembly comprises 17 elected members. All parliamentarians have 5-year terms of office. Electoral System Every citizen of the Commonwealth who is at least 18 years old and possesses the required qualifications relating to residence or domicile in Saint Lucia is, unless otherwise disqualified, entitled to vote. All citizens of at least 21 years of age who were born in Saint Lucia and are domiciled and resident there at the date of their nomination (or having been born elsewhere, have resided there for a period of 12 months immediately before that date), as well as able to speak and - unless incapacitated by blindness or other physical cause - to read the English language with a degree of proficiency sufficient to enable them to take an active part in the proceedings of the House, are qualified to be elected as members of the House of Assembly; the age and residence requirements for Senate candidates are 21 and five years, respectively.

Joanne Massiah & Director Jennifer Maynard; standing Project Coordinator Roberta Williams, Chefs Dr. Carol Silkes & Colleen Simpson, Agricultural Officer Sereno Benjamin Middle : Local dishes R: Coordinator Williams & Dr. Carol Silkes (Photos: Calvin Grigg) As Caribbean countries grapple with issues of food security and costs, the OAS project Agriculture and Tourism Linkages and Agri-Tourism , being executed by the Gilbert Agricultural and Rural Development Centre, is providing assistance to Antigua & Barbuda to increase local food production and use. Government and private sector officials, hoteliers, chefs, farmers, culinary arts students, media personnel and other stakeholders recently had an opportunity to sample a number of innovative recipes. The food-tasting event, held at the Antigua Hospitality Training Institute, on March 14, featured local dishes using fresh farm produce, prepared by Dr. Carol Silkes, Culinary Expert at Purdue University in the U.S, in collaboration with a group of chefs from the Institute. The goal of the project is to increase the local trade between hotels, restaurants and local farmers. Among the expected outcomes is the increase of local produce and decrease of imports; increased use of local foods in hotels and restaurants; and the development of farm visits by tourists as a produce promotional incentive.
