Dominica's Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit was sworn in to a five-year term Monday, following his labour party's re-election victory on May 5.
But the opposition United Workers Party said it would file legal challenges to results in three constituencies as hundreds of its supporters protested the results.
The Labour Party won 12 of 21 seats in parliament, the UWP eight seats and an independent candidate, a close ally of the governing party, one.
The UWP is particularly incensed by the outcome of the contest in the east coast Castle Bruce constituency, where the party's candidate lost by one seat after a recount.
