The Leader of the Opposition of the Commonwealth of Dominica is the Member of Parliament who leads the Official Opposition in the House of Assembly of Dominica. The current Leader of the Opposition is Lennox Linton of the United Workers' Party, sworn in December 2014. The position was previously held by Hector John who was the youngest to hold the position.
Chapter IV Section 66 of The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Dominica provides:
The House of Assembly did not have a Leader of the Opposition in early 2010, following the results of the 2009 general election. The leader of the opposition United Workers' Party, Ronald Green, lost his seat, and the three UWP Representatives elected boycotted the House of Assembly. This ended with the swearing in of Hector John as Leader of the Opposition on 19 July 2010.
