To all 11.505 voters, thank you for exercising your right to vote and voting for the party of your choice, DP, NA or PPA.
We have expressed to the leader of the National Alliance our sincerest congratulations for the overwhelming victory attained at the polls and we wish the NA much success in the negotiations for a central government.
For the 2032 persons who voted for me individually, thank you for the confidence placed in me. The Democratic Party will continue to represent the people of this island as we have been doing unselfishly for the past 55 years.
The road ahead is quite challenging, but we must embark on it with the hope of being able to conquer any obstacles in our path.
These coming months will be quite testing for Sint Maarten, reason for us to be even more determined that we will remain vigilant as a people to ensure St. Maarten gets its rightful share from the dismantling of the Netherlands Antilles.
