The release stated, “Due to the sudden passing of Vance Amory, former Cabinet colleague and former Premier of Nevis, we communicated with the Prime Minister Dr Timothy Harris that it would be appropriate to delay the tripartite meeting of heads of political parties scheduled for today until (April 6) Wednesday of this week as a mark of respect to Vance Amory, a founding member of Team Unity.”
