When I read the article, I didn't see anything about parliament not being dissolved and elections not being called.
I could be missing something, but the way I read this is that parliament has been dissolved, but prior to that there was a vote of no-confidence in the government (the PM and cabinet, who are not in parliament). So the Governor basically booted both and installed a caretaker government (PM who will select a cabinet - which would otherwise have been selected by the parliament).
As I say, I am not totally familiar with the system, but that is what I got from the story based on my limited understanding. I hope someone who has more understanding can clarify.

It looks like everything is still up in the air, depending on what the governor does. And Marlin is blathering on about how he never refused aid from the Dutch and making statements that Sint Maarten should not sell it's soul for so many pieces of silver. What a piece of work..

Marlin says it was a 'conspiracy' of the Dutch government and SXM officials that brought him down. Daily Herald story The story says that "They are going to control every move that the airport, the harbour, TelEm, GEBE ... all of them fall within the reach and scope of the Integrity Chamber.” He says that like it's a bad thing.
