About Hector John

Born 1970. Hector John is a politician.

Hector John (born 22 October 1970) is a Dominican politician in the United Workers' Party (UWP). He was the Leader of the Opposition, from 2010 to 2014 and was the youngest ever to hold that position. He was first elected as a Representative to the House of Assembly in 2009.

Biography John was born in Salisbury, Dominica. He graduated from the St. Joseph Campus of Dominica Grammar School, and then earned a B.A. in Information Technology from Monroe College in New York.

Hector worked in the banana industry for over 16 years, as a statistics officer and information technology assistant.

John subsequently joined the UWP boycott of the House of Assembly, in protest against alleged election irregularities. After John did not attend three consecutive sessions, Speaker of the House Alix Boyd Knights declared his and another UWP seat vacant in April, and a by-election was scheduled for 9 July 2010. John again ran and won against Royer for the Salisbury constituency in the by-election, with 772 votes to Royer's 415 (64.4% to 34.6%).

John was sworn in as Leader of the Opposition on 19 July 2010.
