Description: 

St. Kitts & Nevis

Saint Kitts and Nevis elects on national level a legislature. The National Assembly has 15 members. In the National Assembly, 3 members are nominated to the House to serve a 5-year term and 11 members are elected by popular vote to serve a 5-year term. Saint Kitts and Nevis has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties.

In August, 1998 a referendum was held in which a 62% majority of Nevisians voted for secession from the federation with St. Kitts; however, a two-thirds majority was required in order to make the split a reality. Secession is provided for in the Constitution (Section 113) and is dependent on a two-thirds majority vote by special referendum. To read further please visit the Permanent Mission of Saint Kitts and Nevis to the United Nations.

We invite individuals and other organizations from Albania working in the area of promoting women in politics to share their views, agenda for the political parties and campaigns on iKNOW Politics.
