GEORGE TOWN – The Governor of the Cayman Islands, Martyn Roper will be issuing a proclamation to dissolve the Parliament in this British Overseas territory, as the citizens will head to the polls on April 14, one month earlier than previously planned.
The Governor, in an announcement on Thursday, said Parliament will be dissolved on February 14. The decision to move the date for the poll forward has not gone down well with members of the opposition who said it is politically motivated.
“The Governor, by proclamation, will set Wednesday, 14 April 2021 as the date for the next General Election, replacing the May General Election date, as the Constitution sets out a maximum of two months between the dissolution of the Parliament and a General Election. This date ensures that no newly registered, eligible voters are disenfranchised.

The Leader of the Opposition has blasted the Premier for his lack of integrity and cowardice in failing to remove the Speaker of the House.
Leader of the Opposition, Mr Arden McLean said:
“Respecting that the Premier, bound by collective responsibility and beholden to his electoral caucus, would need time to discuss Speaker Bush’s recent convictions, I deliberately delayed writing to him on the matter.
it soon became apparent that the Premier had no intention of removing Speaker Bush; despite the continued public outrage and Speaker Bush s subsequent convictions. Accordingly, on 24 December 2020 I wrote to the Premier asking him to exercise the leadership needed and remove Speaker Bush.
