Concerned Citizens' Movement
The Concerned Citizens' Movement (CCM) is a Nevis-based political party in Saint Kitts and Nevis. Led by Mark Brantley, it is currently the largest party in Nevis, holding all three Nevisian seats in the National Assembly and three out of five seats in the Nevis Island Assembly. The CCM operates only in Nevis and for the 2022 general election is in a One Movement alliance with the People's Action Movement (PAM) operating in Saint Kitts, following the breakdown of the governing Team Unity alliance. HistoryThe party was established in 1987 and first contested national elections in 1989, when they received 6.4% of the vote and won a single seat.[4] In the 1993 elections their vote share rose to 10.9% and they won two seats. Although their vote share fell to 7.0% in 1995 they retained both seats. The party retained both seats in the elections in 2000, 2004 and 2010. On October 30, 2017, Premier of Nevis Vance Amory handed over party leadership to Mark Brantley. This was an unprecedented move, and the first time in St Kitts-Nevis politics that an elected representative had passed on the leadership of a party without being unseated. In the December 2017 Nevis Island election, Brantley remained Premier after leading the CCM to victory. The party won four out of five available seats, which was an increase of one seat. Among their current executive members is Alexis Jeffers.[5] LeadershipVance Amory led the party from 1987[6] to 2017,[7] and was followed by Mark Brantley. Election results
