Philip J. Pierre, leader of the St. Lucia Labour Party (SLP), has been re-elected as Prime Minister after today’s general election, according to preliminary results released this evening.
Early counts indicate that the St. Lucia Labour Party has surpassed the required threshold to form the next government, winning more than 14 of the island’s 17 parliamentary seats. While official totals are still being finalized, the SLP’s lead places the party firmly on track for another term in office.
Supporters gathered across constituencies to celebrate as several key seats returned strong results for the party. The atmosphere in Castries was described as energetic and hopeful as news of the SLP’s projected victory spread.
Prime Minister Pierre, who first assumed office in 2021, is expected to address the nation once final results are confirmed by the electoral authorities. Party officials have expressed confidence in maintaining their mandate, citing strong voter turnout and widespread support for the government’s agenda.
The Electoral Department continues to tally the remaining ballots, but based on the numbers so far, the St. Lucia Labour Party is set to continue governing the country.
More updates will follow as the official count is completed.
