Cayman Island’s former Deputy Premier, Juliana O’Connor-Connolly, has turn out to be the brand new Premier of the British Abroad Territory.
This transformation in management follows a sequence of political occasions which have shaken the political panorama of the Cayman Islands.
The transition of energy occurred within the aftermath of a movement of no confidence in opposition to the incumbent Premier, Wayne Panton, and his PACT coalition authorities.
The movement, which had threatened to destabilize the administration, was narrowly defeated, permitting Mr. Panton to retain his place briefly.
Resignation of speaker paves the best way for Panton’s new function
In a transfer geared toward sustaining stability and supporting the federal government in fulfilling its constitutional obligations, Speaker Katherine Ebanks-Wilks submitted her resignation.
Because of this, Panton, now relieved of his function as Premier, will assume the place of Speaker of the Parliament, marking a big shift in his political tasks.
