Elections were held in Nevis on 7 September 2001 to elect all five of the elected members of the Nevis Island Assembly. The ruling party, the Concerned Citizens' Movement (CCM), increased their representation from three to four out of five seats, while the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) lost one seat to the CCM. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Aftermath

This was the first election for the Nevis Island Assembly since the unsuccessful referendum on secession in 1998. Following the 2001 election, Vance Amory remained as Premier and the CCM were again returned to power, and in 2003, Amory unsuccessfully sought another referendum on independence. ^[4]
