General elections constitutionally due in Dominica 90 days after April
16 at midnight 2005, and it seems that three main political parties in
the race. However, there is the name Dominica Reform Party (DRP) bouncing
around on the ground on Dominica and that seems to be all there is to
know about this party. However, we at ÇAKAFETE know the leader of DRP
personally and will attempt to confirm his party's involvement in the
race to the 2005 general elections.
