Philipsburg, Sint Maarten — “In response to recent media coverage referencing a statement from his Excellency Governor A. Baly indicating the presence of seven candidate ministers, Formateur Dr. Luc Mercelina issues this corrective statement to clarify the accurate count of ministerial candidates,” stated the press release.
It has come to the attention of the Formateur that there may have been confusion regarding the proposed number of candidate ministers expected for May 3.

“Dr. Luc Mercelina reaffirms that the inclusion of nine candidate ministers in the final report is accurate and reflective of the comprehensive deliberations and considerations undertaken during the formation process,” concluded the press release.
