In a landmark political transformation, the New Democratic Party (NDP) has achieved a decisive electoral victory in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, ending nearly a quarter-century in opposition. The December 2, 2025 general elections resulted in a resounding mandate for Prime Minister Dr. Godwin Friday’s leadership, signaling a profound public desire for national redirection.
The Dominica Freedom Party (DFP) has extended formal congratulations to the victorious NDP, recognizing the election as demonstrating robust democratic engagement. The DFP particularly highlighted the exemplary conduct of the electoral process, noting its transparency, fairness, and adherence to democratic standards that regional political movements should emulate.
This political transition represents more than a routine power transfer—it embodies the collective aspiration of Vincentians for substantive change and renewed governance approaches. The NDP’s return to government after 25 years provides a clear five-year mandate to implement its national vision.
Of particular significance was the notable participation of youth voters, whose active engagement in the democratic process drew specific commendation from the DFP. The party expressed hope that this civic involvement would inspire younger generations throughout the Caribbean region.
The DFP anticipates strengthened collaboration with the NDP through the Caribbean Democrat Union (CDU), focusing on reinforcing democratic institutions and advancing governance models centered on accountability and public service. The statement concluded with an appeal for national unity as St. Vincent and the Grenadines embarks on its new developmental trajectory.
