Team Unity, stylised as TEAM UNITY or Team UNITY, was a political alliance of three political parties in Saint Kitts and Nevis.[1] It formed the government after the 2015 election,[2] with the member parties having worked together to win 7 of the 11 available seats in the National Assembly.[3] Following the 2020 election, Team Unity increased its representation to 9 seats, winning a majority again and allowing it to form a government. It was dissolved in 2022.[4]
