The winds of political change are blowing through Choiseul/Saltibus—and not just with a gentle breeze, but with the gust of a fiery new contender who has dared to step out from behind the curtain. Once the trusted "attache" of Bradley Felix, Darrion Louis is now stepping boldly into the political limelight—and folks, he’s not playing small.
The once-fiery momentum behind the Bradley Felix brand seems
to have fizzled out. In Darrion’s own words, it’s like flogging a dead horse.
But don’t misunderstand him—he’s not here to throw stones. He’s here to light a
fresh flame.
"Choiseul is not lacking in resources—it’s only been
lacking in unified direction."
That line hits home.
Darrion, youthful yet seasoned, was once a loyal soldier in
the UWP trenches. But disillusionment with the current leadership—particularly
what he sees as a disappointing lack of drive from the incumbent and a refusal
to challenge a weakened opposition leader—has stirred a different fire in him.
Initially, he contemplated running as an independent. But
after thoughtful consultations with constituents and Labour Party allies, and
with the sobering reality of Saint Lucia’s political playing field, he made the
strategic decision to throw his hat into the SLP ring.
And now? The battle for the SLP candidacy in
Choiseul/Saltibus is heating up like a Saturday bouyon pot! With a pool that
includes KC, Mervin, Pauline, and Darrion, it’s clear that the race is no
walkover.
But what makes Darrion stand out?
Let’s break down the bold vision he shared in a one-on-one
sit-down:
🏟 1. A Mini Stadium for
Big Dreams
La Fargue has proven it can host big events—from SPL matches
to Jazz vibes. Now, Darrion wants to take it further with a community-driven
mini stadium. A hub for sports, concerts, and cultural unity? Yes, please!
🧳 2. A Tourism Renaissance
with a Choiseul Stamp
From Piaye waterfalls to the River Dorée ruins, Choiseul is
bursting with untapped gems. Darrion’s vision includes structured tours,
global-ready craft branding, and entrepreneurial support. Think: a tourism
product so strong, even Soufrière might feel the heat.
🏛 3. A Non-Partisan
Choiseul Development Foundation
Imagine a community-led foundation focused on real progress,
not party colour. Reviving Queen Shows, Carnival, and driving development with
heart and transparency—Darrion sees this as the glue that binds dreams with
action.
🚒 4. Services that
Actually Serve
Choiseul still lacks a fire station? That’s a
life-threatening oversight. Darrion’s plan includes essential upgrades to
health care, better transportation for our elderly, and infrastructure that
respects the dignity of every citizen.
It’s not just about replacing a rep—it’s about igniting a
new era of leadership built on vision, courage, and connection to the people.
Now, all eyes are on the Saint Lucia Labour Party. Will they
recognize the spark in Darrion Louis? Will they bet on youthful dynamism over
traditional structures?
One thing is for sure—Choiseul is moving. And whether you
like him or not, Darrion is no longer in the background. He's writing his own
political script, and it might just be the plot twist Choiseul didn't see
coming.
So, Choiseul—will you go with the flow, or light it up
with new fire? 🔥

Poor jab Darian, I won’t backlash him, I just wish him best
Pauline will not make it so vote darrion.
Nice read. Good luck to him. More contenders in the ring means wider choice for the people. That's always a good thing. I like the idea of a nonpartisan Choiseul Development Foundation. But why can't we do that now?
How much was he paid?

The wind of change is about to blow in Choiseul. What we need is a leader with vision, youthfulness, energy driven, innovation and dynamism.Not the same old politics but people oriented for development and progress.Darian go for it, it's your opportunity for good solid representation in Choiseul.
