Seraphin organised and led a splinter of the Dominica Labour Party—the Democratic Labour Party—into the 1980 general election and lost mainly because his nearly 13 month-long premiership was dominated by the effects of Category Five Hurricane David, which caused 56 deaths and untold damage across the island.

Who acts: Seraphin, effects, Category · What happens: organise, lead, lose, dominate, cause, effect · To what, where: 1980 general election, splinter, long premiership, 56 deaths, Category
