CASTRIES – Prime Minister Philip Pierre has secured a second term in office following a decisive victory for his St. Lucia Labour Party (SLP) in the island nation’s general election held this Tuesday. Official results confirm the incumbent party captured a commanding majority, winning at least nine of the seventeen contested seats in the House of Assembly. This electoral outcome grants Pierre’s administration a strong mandate to continue its governance agenda for another five-year term. The victory represents a significant endorsement of the SLP’s policies and leadership amidst regional economic challenges. The election process was observed to proceed smoothly, with voter turnout reflecting robust civic engagement. The final composition of the legislature is now set, with the focus shifting to the government’s policy priorities for its new term. The opposition parties are now tasked with regrouping after failing to secure a parliamentary majority.
