Tonight, at 9:30 p.m., the electoral winds are blowing in one clear direction across Saint Lucia. With 10 of the 17 seats already secured, the Saint Lucia Labour Party stands firmly on the path to forming the next government. The United Workers Party holds 1 seat, that of the Leader of the Opposition, while projections suggest that Labour is poised to clinch the remaining battleground constituencies in the hours ahead.
Amid this island-wide red wave, we pause to acknowledge the tremendous journey of the Choiseul/Saltibus campaign—a campaign that was spirited, engaging, and grounded in genuine connection with the people.
A Campaign That Reached Every Corner of Our Constituency
From the valleys of Mongouge to the hilltops of La Fargue, from the coastal stretch of Piaye to the communities of Delcer, the Choiseul/Saltibus team walked, listened, and shared ideas with residents from every walk of life. Every handshake, every roadside chat, every evening meeting added to a movement built not on noise, but on sincerity.
Even though the electoral tide tonight leans heavily in favour of the SLP, the work done here in Choiseul/Saltibus deserves respect. The candidate fought a disciplined and determined campaign—one that sparked discussions, inspired participation, and reminded many of what community-centered politics should look like.
Democracy Wins When Campaigns Are Fought With Heart
Elections come and go, but the relationships built along the way remain. In Choiseul/Saltibus, supporters on both sides engaged in passionate debate, kept their communities energized, and demonstrated the healthy democratic spirit that keeps our country alive.
Regardless of tonight’s outcome, this constituency proved that:
- Respectful campaigning still matters
- Grassroots engagement still works
- Courage and commitment still count
And for that, the Choiseul/Saltibus candidate deserves our admiration and congratulations.
The Road Ahead
As the SLP prepares to form the next government with what appears to be a resounding mandate, Choiseul/Saltibus now turns its focus to uniting after a long and emotional campaign. The issues that matter—roads, jobs, safety, youth development, healthcare, small business support—remain our priority, regardless of colour.
Tonight, we acknowledge the political momentum sweeping the country.
But we also shine a light on the proud effort put forward right here at home.
Congratulations to the Choiseul/Saltibus candidate on a well-fought and respectable campaign. The people have spoken—and democracy has once again shown its strength.
