In a landmark move to ensure the integrity of the democratic process, St. Vincent and the Grenadines has introduced a comprehensive Code of Ethical Political Conduct ahead of the 2025 General Election. The initiative, spearheaded by the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Christian Council and the National Monitoring and Consultative Mechanism (NMCM), aims to foster a fair, transparent, and peaceful electoral environment. The Code, endorsed by key political leaders including Prime Minister Dr. Ralph E. Gonsalves and Opposition Leader Dr. Godwin Friday, underscores the nation’s commitment to upholding democratic principles, human rights, and social justice. The document emphasizes the importance of maintaining moral integrity, promoting tolerance, and ensuring the secrecy of the ballot. It also addresses the need for candidates to avoid inflammatory rhetoric, refrain from using state resources for political gain, and discourage any form of violence or intimidation. The Code further mandates equal access to media and public venues for all political parties, ensuring a level playing field. The Christian Council and NMCM will monitor adherence to the Code, with the public encouraged to report any breaches. This initiative reflects the nation’s dedication to preserving the dignity of its democratic institutions and fostering a culture of respect and accountability in political discourse.
