Louis Cools-Lartigue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Louis Cools-Lartigue, O.B.E. (18 January 1905 - 21 August 1993^[1]) was a Dominican politician.

From November 1967 to November 3, 1978, Cools-Lartigue was the last Governor of Dominica. He was then elected Interim President and served as such from November 3, 1978 to January 19, 1979, until Fred Degazon was elected President of Dominica. During a constitutional crisis stirred by the desire for democratic socialist reforms, Degazon fled to England on June 10, 1979, and Cools-Lartigue was elected by the House of Assembly as his replacement on June 15, 1979. Cools-Lartigue then resigned the following day, and was then replaced by Jenner Armour.
