The United Workers Party (UWP) of Dominica is organizing a significant political gathering termed the ‘National Unity Rally,’ scheduled for February 1, 2026, in the village of Grand Fond. Party Leader Dr. Thomson Fontaine characterized the event as a strategic effort to consolidate member support and outline the party’s forward-looking agenda.
Dr. Fontaine emphasized the rally’s dual purpose: to energize party members for full participation in the ongoing voter confirmation process and to foster greater political engagement in preparation for impending general elections. While the election date remains undetermined, the UWP leadership stresses the critical importance of maintaining campaign readiness.
A central component of the rally will be the formal presentation of the UWP’s comprehensive ’10-Pillar Plan for Shared Prosperity’ – an economic framework addressing multiple national concerns. The plan specifically targets economic revitalization with focused strategies for agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism sectors alongside social development initiatives.
The policy blueprint directly addresses pressing national issues including youth violence mitigation and wage improvement demands. Dr. Fontaine indicated the rally would maintain an optimistic tone, focusing on hopeful messaging and presenting the Dominican public with concrete policy alternatives that differentiate the UWP’s governance approach.
The afternoon event, commencing at 2:00 PM, anticipates attendance from supporters across all constituencies, representing a significant mobilization effort by the opposition party as it positions itself for potential leadership.
