In an interview on DBS Radio in the weeks leading up to the November 10 conference, Skerrit had expressed rock-solid confidence in a no-contest victory for himself.

“In respect to the party leader, we don’t expect there to be any contest,” he said. “There is no vacancy now.”

“I have no doubt that it will be uncontested. As of the Delegates’ Conference coming up, I don’t expect any contest for the leadership of the party,” Skerrit added.
