Advanced Polling Currently Underway

Advanced polling for essential workers across Saint Lucia is officially underway as the island moves closer to its next general election. The early voting process, which traditionally accommodates individuals who are unable to cast their ballots on the main polling day, began this morning with high expectations for a smooth and orderly turnout.
Prime Minister Philip J Pierre addressed the nation early today through a statement on his official page. He described the commencement of advanced polling as another important step in safeguarding the country’s democratic traditions.

“Our Advanced Poll is today,” the Prime Minister said. “I want to thank each of you for your dedication, discipline, and unwavering commitment to our democracy. Your service ensures that every vote is counted, every voice is heard, and our nation continues putting people first.”

He also urged polling personnel and participating essential workers to remain focused throughout the day. “Stay focused, stay calm, and carry out your duties with the integrity that defines us,” Pierre said.

Advanced polling typically includes police officers, fire officers, prison staff, election workers, and other essential service personnel whose duties prevent them from voting on the official election day. The Electoral Department has indicated that all necessary systems are in place to facilitate a transparent and efficient process.

Officers stationed at various polling stations reported steady activity during the morning period. Several expressed confidence that the early voting exercise would proceed without any major challenges.

Election officials have continued to emphasize the importance of maintaining procedural fairness and accuracy. Observers from civil society organizations and political parties are also expected to monitor the process throughout the day.

SVG’s NDP Wins 14 of 15 Lower House Seats; Only Ralph Remains as ULP MP

The New Democratic party (NDP) of St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) is celebrating a historic landslide victory, taking 14 of 15 seats, according to preliminary results.

The decisive vote was a crushing defeat for the Unity Labour party (ULP), which has been in power since 2001.

The outgoing prime minister, Ralph Gonsalves, was the only ULP candidate to hold on to their seat in the elections where there was a severe decline in the party’s previous nine-seat majority.

Gonsalves, the Caribbean’s longest-serving prime minister, will hand over the reins to the NDP’s Godwin Friday.

“Looks like a giant has fallen in Vincy,” Peter Wickham, a regional political analyst, said on Facebook as it became apparent that Gonsalves, a prominent climate justice and slavery reparations advocate, was going to lose the elections.

Other governments in the region congratulated Friday on the result. Jamaica’s prime minister, Andrew Holness, who is dealing with the devastation of Hurricane Melissa, described the election as “an important moment for the Vincentian people”.

He said on X: “I wish Dr Friday every success as he undertakes the responsibility of national leadership, and I pray God’s guidance and wisdom upon him in the work ahead. Jamaica values its close friendship with St Vincent and the Grenadines, and we look forward to strengthening our cooperation as we continue to build a more resilient and prosperous Caribbean region together.”

Taiwan’s ambassador to SVG, Fiona Fan, also congratulated Friday. The NDP has previously proposed severing relations with Taiwan and restoring ties with China. This year’s NDP manifesto made no mention of ending ties with Taipei, however, and the party had been criticized for failing to clarify its position on the issue.

Business Leaders Warn Saint Lucia to “Build a New Economic Ship” Amid Global Shocks

Business leaders and economic experts are urging Saint Lucia to dramatically rethink its development strategy, warning that the country’s dependence on a handful of sectors places it at serious risk as global disruptions intensify.

The message emerged strongly from the Saint Lucia Chamber of Commerce’s annual meeting, held on November 26, 2025, where the call for diversification was described as both urgent and unavoidable.

Feature speaker Dr. Keith Nurse cautioned that the global economy is undergoing a rapid transformation that leaves no room for complacency.

“If the global economy is indeed moving through this very rapid process of transformation and creative destruction, then status quo maintenance is not a good option,” he told members.

“It does not matter what industry you are in. If you stay in your hole, as I call it, at some point in time somebody is going to displace you or disrupt you.”

Dr. Nurse stressed that the island must adopt a forward-looking mindset that prioritizes innovation, skills development, and technological readiness. Remaining locked into traditional models, he argued, exposes the country to the same vulnerabilities that repeatedly surface during global crises.

Chamber President Ross Gardner echoed those concerns and called for a complete policy reset.

“We must therefore plan for and build a diversified economy, one that grows, manufactures, innovates and serves, where our people participate meaningfully in productive activities that justly reward effort,” Gardner said.

He emphasized that such a shift cannot happen without major changes in how government policies are crafted.

“To achieve this, a shift in the design of policy and legislation is critical. We must move away from narrow sector specific support frameworks towards outcome oriented policies that foster creativity, innovation, and sustainable enterprise,” he stated. “Only then can we truly unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of our people.”

The Chamber’s annual meeting underscored a shared belief among private sector leaders: Saint Lucia cannot afford to wait for the next crisis. Instead, it must actively construct what participants described as a future-proofed economic model driven by technology, entrepreneurship, and smarter investment in human capital.

World AIDS Day: Health Officials Warn of Critical Crossroads as Global Progress Stalls

As the world marks the thirty-seventh observance of World AIDS Day on December 1, health leaders are cautioning that the global fight against HIV and AIDS has reached a crucial turning point. Despite major advances over several decades, new data show that gaps in testing, treatment, and prevention remain wide.

This year’s theme, “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response,” challenges countries to recommit to ending AIDS as a public health threat.

In 2024, an estimated 40.8 million people were living with HIV worldwide. That same year saw 1.3 million new infections and 630,000 AIDS related deaths.

Senior Medical Officer in the Infectious Diseases Unit, Dr Gail Gajadhar, said that global progress, although under strain, continues to offer signs of hope.

“Hope remains strong as 31.6 million people worldwide access life saving antiretroviral therapy,” she stated.

Dr Gajadhar reported that St Lucia has been working steadily to strengthen its national response. “In 2024, 35 new HIV infections were recorded, and to date in 2025, 17 new cases have been documented, figures that will continue to evolve as surveillance improves,” she explained.

She added that the country currently has 1,022 documented persons living with HIV.

“We have 290 individuals, 125 females and 165 males, actively collecting antiretroviral therapy,” she said. “In 2024, 40 people commenced treatment, reinforcing our commitment to early intervention and continuity of care. Despite disruptions, St Lucia has made significant strides.”

According to Dr Gajadhar, the national programme has been expanding on several fronts to meet emerging challenges.

“We continue to scale up training for rapid HIV and syphilis testers, enhance capacity in sexually transmitted infection management, expand access to preventive tools, including pre exposure prophylaxis, PrEP, a once daily pill that can reduce the risk of getting HIV, and train master trainers to support our national testing efforts,” she said.

She also noted that ensuring stable access to medication remains a central priority. “Maintaining reliable antiretroviral therapy stocks also remains a priority,” she affirmed.

As World AIDS Day is commemorated, public health officials say the message is clear: renewed vigilance, sustained investment, and widespread education are essential if the vision of ending AIDS is to be achieved.
