As election fever slowly builds across the island, the people of Choiseul/Saltibus find themselves at the heart of a fascinating political crossroads. On one side stands Bradley Felix, the seasoned parliamentarian with a track record of calm leadership and measured governance. On the other, Keithson “Kiffo” Charles, the newcomer with a bold message of renewal and a promise to end what he calls “a season of silence.”
Both men present distinct visions for the constituency — one grounded in continuity, the other in change. But what do their messages really say about the kind of leadership each offers?
🟨 Bradley Felix: Steady Hands, Proven Path
Felix’s message is simple: results over rhetoric. His vision emphasizes continuity, inclusiveness, and a quiet strength born of experience. In his recent interview with Lisa Joseph, he reminded voters of what was achieved between 2016 and 2021, urging them to “sift through the fluff and the bluff” and focus on tangible results.
He positions himself as:
-
A non-discriminatory representative who serves all constituents, regardless of political affiliation.
-
A tested leader who knows how to navigate the system to bring development to Choiseul.
-
A man focused on family values and youth, believing progress must be sustainable and rooted in community strength.
-
Someone who wants to keep Choiseul high on the national agenda, ensuring continued investment and attention.
Felix’s tone reflects confidence, stability, and pride — a belief that leadership should be about quiet delivery rather than noisy confrontation.
🟥 Keithson “Kiffo” Charles: The Sound of Renewal
In contrast, Kiffo’s maiden speech was fiery, passionate, and people-driven. He declared that “the season of silence is over,” positioning himself as the voice of a constituency ready to reclaim its influence.
Kiffo’s promises centered on renewal, opportunity, and social empowerment, including:
-
Creating jobs and economic opportunities for youth and local entrepreneurs.
-
Revitalizing roads, health centers, and community infrastructure.
-
Supporting farmers and fishers with better access to tools and markets.
-
Making education and skills training a top priority.
-
Promoting unity across political lines, while holding leadership accountable.
His vision taps into emotion — one that speaks to those who feel left out or unheard. It’s the voice of renewal versus the comfort of stability.
⚖️ The Core Difference: Continuity vs Change
At the heart of this political duel is a simple question:
Do the people of Choiseul/Saltibus want to continue building on what exists, or do they want to start fresh with new energy and ideas?
Bradley Felix represents the continuation of a known formula — steady governance, gradual development, and experience in navigating the national system.
Kiffo Charles represents the break from the old, the emergence of a younger, louder generation eager to leave a mark.
🌴 What the Voters Must Consider
Voters will have to decide which vision best aligns with their lived reality.
Do they feel progress has been steady enough under Bradley’s stewardship?
Or do they share Kiffo’s view that the people’s voices have been ignored for too long?
Either way, the upcoming election promises to be one of the most defining moments in Choiseul’s political story — not just about personalities, but about the direction of leadership for the next decade.
✍️ Final Thought
Both men love Choiseul. Both claim to serve without discrimination. Yet their roads to the same destination couldn’t be more different.
Whether voters choose the calm of continuity or the energy of change, one truth remains — Choiseul/Saltibus is awake, alert, and ready to make its voice heard.
