Boswell Williams
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boswell Williams (born 1926) is a former Saint Lucian politician who represented the district of Vieux Fort in the legislature from 1974 to 1979.
He was chosen by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom to carry out the position of Governor-General of the island on June 19, 1980,[1][2] replacing Sir Allen Montgomery Lewis, father of the former Prime Minister Vaughan Lewis. He was initially Acting Governor General, becoming Governor General in December 1981 (until December 1982). Williams had to confront the most serious constitutional crisis in the history of Saint Lucia soon after the rejection of Prime Minister Allan Louisy's budget proposal. After little more than two years in the position, he resigned on December 13, 1982.
