Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten - Talks towards the formation of a new government for St. Maarten has already begun.
Seemingly there is some interest between the National Alliance party of MP William Marlin (four seats), the Democratic Party of PM Sarah Wescot-Williams (two seats) and the US Party of MP Frans Richardson (two seats).
www.sxmislandtime.com learnt that an accord was signed at the Bute Hotel between the NA, DP and US political parties at five (5am) Saturday.
If this combination of political parties decide to form the next government, then the UP party of MP Theo Heyliger who got seven (7) seats in Friday's election would be left to occupy the opposition benches in the new Parliament of St. Maarten.
Political talks are said to be continuing between the parties who obtained a seat in the new Parliament of St. Maarten on Friday, at least in some quarters.
The One St Maarten People Party and the Social Reform Party did not obtain a seat from Friday's voting by the electorate.
