Montserrat now has a new government following yesterday’s general election.



The Movement for Change and Prosperity party (MCAP), won six of the nine seats in the legislature.



The other three went to independents, including the outgoing Chief Minister, Lowell Lewis.



The man expected to replace him, MCAP\'s leader Reuben Meade has said the new administration will hit the ground running.



It will be Mr Meade\'s second time in office.



He previously served as Chief Minister from 1991 to 1996.



He was a member of Dr Lewis\' coalition government which collapsed earlier this year.
