PHILIPSBURG--The National Alliance (NA) thank you victory party, originally scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, has been rescheduled.
The party will now be held on Sunday, February 7 at the Emilio Wilson Historical and Cultural Park.
In a press release, the party said the postponement was due to another function being held at the Emilio Wilson Historical Park on that same day.
The party apologises for any inconvenience the postponement will cause and expressed hope that the public will turn out in numbers to celebrate its historic victory.
NA captured all three of St. Maarten’s parliamentary seats in with 6,940 votes - 3,380 more that the main rival Democratic Party (DP), which fell short of a seat by 161 votes, losing its sole seat.
The election had been historical in many respects, as the NA accumulated the most votes any single party has ever received in an election in St. Maarten. It was also the first time in two and a half decades that a party managed to capture all three of St. Maarten’s parliamentary seats. The last time this was done was in 1985, when the DP copped all three seats. NA received 2,630 more votes than it received during the last Parliamentary elections in 2006.
