Dr Irving Andre contends that three pieces of proposed legislation validate the worst fears of Dominican citizens and threatens their hopes for democracy and free and fair elections

 
During the Global View on Q Program last night, Dr Irving Andre voiced concerns that three specific pieces of legislation—the Electoral Commission Act, the House of Assembly Act, and the Registration of Electors Act—confirm the worst fears of Dominican citizens.  
 
He argued that these proposed new laws undermine Dominicans dream of a democracy founded on free and fair elections. Dr. Andre emphasized that the citizens themselves are the leaders needed during these challenging times, to ensure that these new legislative measures which fall short of delivering the essential reforms the country requires, are not approved in Parliament and implemented.

Dr. Andre highlighted that the Registration of Electors Act, particularly regarding eligibility to participate in elections, proposes measures that are even more concerning than those suggested by Sir Dennis Byron. He stressed that focusing on this legislation reveals deeper issues that could further undermine the democratic process in Dominica. ​
