Sean Douglas

Sean Douglas is a Dominican politician and businessman. He served as the press secretary for the ruling Dominica Labour Party for nine years, ending in 2010. He then became a critic of the party in 2011. He was appointed as an opposition senator in 2023, before his appoint was revoked the same year.

Biography Sean Douglas is a nephew of former Prime Minister Rosie Douglas and a cousin of MP Ian Douglas.

After the death of Rosie Douglas, Sean Douglas first began serving as the press secretary for the ruling Dominica Labour Party (DLP) under Prime Minister Pierre Charles. He served 9 years as party press secretary. In 2010, Douglas refused to sign an outdated contract. On 12 July 2010, he had received a letter from Cabinet Secretary Felix Gregoire informing him of his dismissal. Douglas described it as being "fired". Gregoire argued that by refusing to sign the contract, Douglas was effectively firing himself. His dismissal was made effective 13 August.

By July 2010, it had been reported that Douglas had come into conflict with the administration of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit. After his criticism of the government, he gained traction with the opposition United Workers' Party (UWP). In May 2019, ahead of that year's general election, Douglas endorsed the candidates of the UWP. On 6 November 2023, Paul-Victor sent a letter to President Sylvanie Burton calling for the immediate revocation of Douglas's appointment as senator.
