The people of Choiseul/Saltibus are growing restless. With the next general election looming, the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) continues to drag its feet on announcing a candidate to go up against Bradly Felix. This delay has sparked unnecessary anxiety in the constituency and risks weakening the party’s momentum in one of the island’s most hotly contested battlegrounds.
Meanwhile, on the ground, one name is rising above the noise: Keithson “Kiffo” Charles.
The SLP’s Costly Delay
The indecision at the top is more than just politics—it’s a gamble with the confidence of grassroots supporters. Voters in Choiseul/Saltibus want clarity, stability, and leadership. Instead, they’re left in limbo while whispers swirl about who might eventually get the nod. The longer the administration drags its feet, the more it looks like the party is either divided or unwilling to trust the people’s choice. Both perceptions damage the SLP’s credibility.
Kiffo’s Momentum Is Real
While others wait, Kiffo is moving. He’s visible in the constituency, engaging residents, and earning the kind of grassroots trust that cannot be manufactured at the last minute. From village corners to community events, his presence is felt. This momentum is crucial, because winning Choiseul/Saltibus will not come from lofty speeches or last-minute parachutes—it will come from consistent groundwork and genuine connection with the people.
Why Keithson Over the Rest?
1. Grassroots Appeal – Unlike some of the other names floated, Kiffo’s connection with ordinary Choiseulians is undeniable. He speaks their language and understands their struggles.
2. Momentum Already Built – Elections are about energy. Right now, Kiffo is the only SLP hopeful building it. To replace him or delay his confirmation risks squandering that head start.
3. Credibility Against Bradley – Bradley Felix is not an easy opponent. Defeating him requires a candidate who already has people rallying behind him. Kiffo has shown he can galvanize support that extends beyond traditional partisan lines.
4. A Candidate of the Times – Choiseul/Saltibus wants change, but not just any change. They want someone they trust to represent them with authenticity and passion. Kiffo embodies that.
A Call to the SLP Leadership
The SLP cannot afford to continue second-guessing itself in Choiseul/Saltibus. The people are watching, the opposition is preparing, and Keithson Charles is already on the move. Every day of indecision is a day wasted.
If the administration truly listens to the people, the choice is clear: endorse Keithson “Kiffo” Charles now. Give him the official backing to match the momentum he has already built, and let him focus fully on unseating Bradly Felix.
Because in Choiseul/Saltibus, hesitation is not strategy—it’s self-sabotage
