Chevonne Stewart, the Southern Grenadines candidate for the ruling Unity Labour Party (ULP) in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, has received a significant endorsement from Tevin Andrews, the Grenadian MP representing Carriacou and Petite Martinique. Andrews, who has deep roots in the region, publicly supported Stewart during ULP campaign events on Mayreau and Union Island. Stewart, a chief radiologist recently transferred to the Ministry of Health, is making her first bid for the Southern Grenadines seat, which has been held by the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) since its creation in 1989. Andrews praised Stewart’s dedication, approachability, and hard work, emphasizing her commitment to the region’s recovery from Hurricane Beryl’s devastation in July 2024. He highlighted her active role in restoration efforts and urged constituents to consider her leadership qualities in the upcoming election. Stewart is challenging NDP’s Terrance Ollivierre, who has represented the Southern Grenadines since 2001. Andrews also commended Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves’ leadership in navigating multiple disasters, reinforcing the ULP’s message of resilience and progress.
