He then succeeded Oswald Skippings of the People's Democratic Movement (PDM) as Chief Minister of the Turks and Caicos Islands . In the elections on January 31, 1995, his PNP suffered a significant defeat and only got four of the 13 seats in parliament, whereupon Derek Taylor of the PDM on February 3, 1995 was the new Chief Minister.
