When Team Unity collapsed, few observers expected the Saint Kitts and Nevis Labour Party to return
to power so decisively. Yet the fragmentation of the coalition opened the door for the Labour
government to take office in a surprise electoral outcome. Nearly four years later, the political landscape
has shifted once again. Saint Kitts and Nevis is facing mounting economic hardship, with Citizenship by
Investment (CBI) revenues reportedly declining sharply from approximately $600 million per year to just
over $100 million. This contraction has created fiscal pressure, rising public dissatisfaction, and political
vulnerability for the current administration.
A relentless political comeback; Former Prime Minister Timothy Harris has never stepped away from the
political battlefield. He has remained in continuous campaign mode, maintaining visibility across
constituencies, and positioning himself as an experienced alternative amid growing frustration with
the current government. For a segment of the electorate, Harris symbolizes a return to economic activity
and state revenue growth associated with the peak years of the CBI program, despite the controversies
that accompanied that era.
According to reliable intelligence sources familiar with regional political financing, Caribbean Galaxy and its
principal, Ying Jin, are financially backing Timothy Harris’s upcoming electoral campaign, as is Les Khan,
who jointly manages Caribbean Galaxy.These sources indicate that financial support is being provided
with the clear objective of facilitating Harris’s return to power. The agreement took place in Saint Lucia.
It is publicly known that Timothy Harris and Ying Jin are represented by the same legal counsel,
Peter Foster, based in Saint Lucia. This overlap, combined with the intelligence assessments, reinforces
perceptions within diplomatic and policy circles of an ongoing strategic alignment between the former
prime minister and the Chinese-linked CBI operator. Neither party has publicly confirmed these claims.

There is a Strategic Coalition with Nevis; In parallel, political sources report that Harris has reached an
understanding with the Nevis-based Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) under NRP leader Janice Daniel-Hodge.
Such an arrangement would significantly alter the electoral balance, opening the path for a coalition government
between Harris’s People’s Labour Party (PLP) and the NRP.If realized, this coalition would provide Harris with
a credible parliamentary route back to office, particularly in a closely contested election environment.
