In a passionate address to supporters at a rally in Campden Park, Opposition Leader Godwin Friday emphasized the pivotal role of voters in the upcoming general election. Speaking on Tuesday, Friday, leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), declared that the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines are the true decision-makers, urging them to assert their authority by casting their ballots on Thursday. He framed the election as a critical opportunity to end the long-standing dominance of the ruling Unity Labour Party (ULP), which has governed for nearly 25 years. Friday, who has served as a Member of Parliament and party leader, described his political journey as “the greatest honour of my life,” expressing deep gratitude for the love and respect he has received from citizens across the nation. He also addressed accusations from the ULP regarding his and fellow candidate Fitz Brmable’s Canadian citizenship, dismissing them as scare tactics. Friday pledged his unwavering commitment to the country, vowing to continue serving the people if re-elected. He outlined the NDP’s vision for the future, emphasizing plans to tackle crime, reduce unemployment, and improve healthcare and education systems. Friday criticized the ULP for failing to deliver on its promises, particularly in addressing crime and economic challenges. He called for a government that listens to the people and works collaboratively to build a better future. The NDP leader concluded by urging voters to reject the status quo and embrace change, asserting that the NDP is ready to govern effectively from day one.
