After a volatile and disputed election held at the St. Kitts Marriott Hotel, Dennis Phillip has been reelected President of the St. Kitts Cricket Association (SKCA).
Despite criticism surrounding financial transparency, disorganized proceedings, and alarming voter registration irregularities, Phillip narrowly defeated challenger Val Henry by just two votes—76 to 74, securing another term at the helm of the troubled cricket body.
The election, widely condemned as one of the most chaotic and undemocratic in SKCA history, unfolded amid angry outbursts, missing membership lists, last-minute voter additions, and a lack of audited financial accounts dating back to 2015.
Though Phillip’s slate secured only four of the 12 available positions, Val Henry’s team dominated with seven, sending a strong message about growing dissatisfaction with the current leadership.
According to multiple credible sources, at least 35 votes cast for Team Dennis came from individuals who were not eligible to vote, many of whom were reportedly added after the official May 8 deadline—some as late as the day of the election itself.
Repeated requests for the full and finalized voter list were ignored or outright denied by the outgoing executive. To make matters worse, the vote counting was conducted by three non-members, and results were only finalized and presented at nearly 2AM, by which time most delegates had already left in frustration.
The other winners from Sunday’s AGM include Austin Williams-Vice President, Andrea Liddie-Secretary, Viandre Edwards-Treasurer and Charles Morton-Assistant Secretary/Treasurer.
Steve Saunders, Ricky Scarborough, Loshaun Dixon, Gary Rogers, Ganesh Algu and Lindbergh Belle were all elected to the management committee.
