<p>Clough was one of the lawyers who represented elector Manley Bowen in the election petition he filed in 2007 against government minister Shahine Robinson who was declared winner in the North East St Ann constituency. Bowen contended that Robinson had dual citizenship because she was an American citizen and was not entitled to sit in Parliament.</p>
