At long last, the waiting is over. The Saint Lucia Labour Party has officially selected Keithson “Kiffo” Charles as its candidate for Choiseul/Saltibus in the upcoming general elections—constitutionally due in July 2026, but with whispers of an early call this year.
This announcement doesn’t just confirm what the grassroots already knew; it affirms that the SLP has finally aligned with the will of the people. And for that, the administration deserves thanks.
A Wise Choice Rooted in Reality
For months, there has been chatter, anxiety, and speculation. But while the pundits argued, Kiffo was walking the communities, shaking hands, listening to concerns, and quietly building a groundswell of support. His selection is not the product of backroom deals—it’s a reflection of what is happening on the ground.
The SLP leadership showed courage and wisdom in recognizing that authentic connection beats empty rhetoric. They listened to Choiseul/Saltibus, and they chose the candidate whose momentum was impossible to ignore.
Why Kiffo Stands Out
Kiffo is more than just a name on a ballot. He’s a son of the soil who understands the struggles of everyday Choiseulians. He has been present in times of joy and in times of hardship.
From championing youth engagement to advocating for consistent water supply and better infrastructure, Kiffo embodies the kind of leadership that unites rather than divides. His grassroots energy has already inspired renewed hope that Choiseul/Saltibus can take its rightful place as a thriving, developed constituency.
The Road Ahead
The battle won’t be easy. Bradley Felix is a seasoned politician. But Kiffo has what it takes to meet this moment—authenticity, humility, and a genuine passion for his people.
And whether the elections are called this year or in 2026, one thing is certain: Kiffo’s time has come. The people are ready, and now the party is, too.
Thank You to the SLP Administration
We applaud the SLP administration for making this bold and wise decision. By selecting Kiffo, they have not only chosen a candidate but also signaled their commitment to empowering authentic leaders who reflect the heartbeat of their communities.
Kiffo for Choiseul/Saltibus isn’t just a slogan; it’s a movement. It’s about a community ready to rise, a constituency ready to shine, and a candidate ready to deliver.
