Grace Walters, the Unity Labour Party’s (ULP) candidate for North Windward, has been actively engaging with voters to solidify her connection to the constituency she aims to represent. Despite accusations of distancing herself from the community, Walters emphasized her deep-rooted ties to Sandy Bay, where she was raised and began her career in healthcare administration. Speaking at the ULP’s first major campaign rally in Layou, Walters highlighted her long-standing service to North Windward, including her efforts to address community challenges such as alcoholism and illicit drugs. She also outlined her vision for the constituency, which includes improving healthcare, housing, and agricultural support, as well as launching mentorship and cultural programs for the youth. Walters, who holds a doctorate in healthcare administration, is set to face off against the New Democratic Party’s (NDP) Shevern John in the upcoming general election. She urged voters to focus on the ULP’s achievements, including infrastructure development and educational opportunities, and to continue supporting the party’s vision for St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The election is expected to take place by November, ahead of the February 2025 constitutional deadline.
