COCKBURN TOWN, Turks and Caicos Islands, Feb 8, CMC – The ruling Progressive National Party (PNP) was re-elected to government on Friday after voters gave the 75-year-old Premier Washington Misick another term at the head of the government in this British Overseas Territory.
The PNP won 16 of the 19 seats contested unlike the 2021 general election when the party won 14 out of the 15 seats that were at stake for control of the National Assembly.

“To the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands, I am deeply humbled and grateful for your trust and confidence in re-electing the Progressive National Party to lead our nation once again.
