General elections were held in Saint Kitts and Nevis on Friday 5 June 2020.[1]
The ruling coalition, Team Unity consisting of PAM, CCM and PLP, won a landslide victory with nine out of the eleven directly elected deputies, and netting a combined 54.85% of the vote.[2] However, similar to the prior elections in 2015, the individual party that won the most votes (PAM) did not win the most seats.
Electoral system
[edit]Eleven of the fifteen seats in the National Assembly are elected, with three other members appointed by the Governor-General at some point after the elections and one seat held by the Attorney-General.[3] The eleven elected seats are elected in single-member constituencies using plurality voting.[4]
