The upcoming general election in Saint Lucia is shaping up to be a historic event, with Castries North emerging as the focal point of national attention. This constituency, once a stronghold of the United Workers Party (UWP), is now a battleground for three formidable candidates: the seasoned incumbent Stephenson King, UWP’s rising star Stephen Fevrier, and independent newcomer Marcellus Stiede. The race is emblematic of a broader clash between experience, innovation, and grassroots leadership. Stephenson King, a political stalwart with a career spanning over four decades, has been a dominant figure in Castries North. However, his decision to leave the UWP in 2021 and run as an independent candidate marked a turning point in his career. Despite his long-standing influence, King now faces stiff competition from Fevrier, a globally experienced diplomat, and Stiede, a former professional basketball player turned community advocate. Fevrier, with his international background and vision for economic revitalization, promises to bring fresh perspectives to the constituency. Meanwhile, Stiede emphasizes youth development and transparency, critiquing the culture of political dependency. The election has sparked widespread debate, with voters weighing the merits of King’s legacy against the transformative potential of his challengers. As Saint Lucia prepares for this pivotal moment, Castries North stands as a microcosm of the nation’s political evolution, where tradition meets the promise of change.
