NDP Sweeps St. Vincent Election in 14–1 Defeat for Gonsalves
The opposition New Democratic Party won a landslide victory in Thursday’s general election, ending the Unity Labour Party’s 24-year hold on power and leaving Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves as the lone ULP member in the 15-seat Parliament.
Preliminary results show the NDP capturing 14 seats, with Gonsalves retaining the only seat for the ULP. It marks the most dramatic political shift in the country’s recent history and signals the end of Gonsalves’ bid for a sixth consecutive term.
NDP leader Dr. Godwin Friday declared victory on social media early Friday, hours before the full results were formally released. The win positions Friday to become the country’s next prime minister.
Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness congratulated Friday in a post on X, praising St. Vincent and the Grenadines for its “peaceful and democratic process.”
Taiwan’s ambassador also offered congratulations to the NDP. Saint Vincent is among Taipei’s few remaining diplomatic allies, though the NDP had previously suggested reconsidering ties in favor of closer relations with China. The party’s manifesto did not call for ending relations with Taiwan.
Gonsalves, one of the world’s longest-serving democratically elected leaders, has governed since 2001. The 14–1 loss is the ULP’s worst electoral performance since taking office more than two decades ago.

Father in heaven we would like to be rid of this labor day party government in Jesus name ..Ame🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🫣
and when you WAKE UP from that dream what happened? Bush tea and fried dumpling for breakfast?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good riddance to a pile of rubbish. Antigua seems to be the only country that tolerate garbage. Even Solid Waste now calling for help to cart out the vermins so we can breathe fresh air again. Can’t wait to stain my index finger again
@ Sandra Clarke: One from one leaves nothing. UPP is certainly not ready yet and neither will they get their act together for 2028. Therefore, the best administration we have presently is ABLP. They are not perfect, but they are doing quite a decent job. They just need to STOP lookout for their cronies and make the political landscape a level playing field
Ralph got punished twice by being the only opposition member in parliament. Reminds me when Pringle was the lone UPP member in parliament. Ralph didn’t know when to quit. you could have walked out as the un-defeated champion.
“They are doing a good job, but they must stop looking out for their cronies”
That’s the most ignorant and tone def statement I’ve ever read on this platform.. 😂.
Just when I think it couldn’t get any worse with these ABLP acolytes.
😂..y’all are weird as hell.
@ watching from the side,
My original prayer stands..
I am hopeful that upp will get themselves together by the next election!
We cannot have labor party government
Anymore..enough!
They are sucking the country dry!
All forself and none for thee.😐
I can recall some people once said only bird can run this country, some will say brown only right now I find it to be an insult. This country have alot of bright people the problem is color has blinded many that they seems to be foolish, and selfish. Life goes on without red, yellow or blue. The country is not on a standstill
Great news! And hopefully this has a dominoe effect right here in Antigua & Barbuda at the next General Election.
Browne and his cohorts are on the ropes at present, and are counting on a bias referee to save them from a total knockout (or should I say tump down).
Wonderful news for the New Democratic Party, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and also for the Caribbean region as a whole.
ABLP and Gaston Browne next …
The only downside is that Browne has a lot of non-nationals who still worships the clouds he floats on. It won’t be easy for the UPP, but definitely doable.
IF WE HAVE BREATH, WE HAVE HOPE.
Islanman26, do you now understand why Gaston Browne has been in charge for so long when you read inane and vacuous comments from the likes of @Watching from the side?!?
Browne supporters will never criticise or scrutinise him. I’ve yet to come across anyone of them to ask for an independent audit and investigation into the vehicle acquisitions procurement scandal.
They are just as complicit by not wanting to know how our money is being used and abused.
Are they not taxpayers as well?
Strange set ah unpatriotic people…
Vincentians recognize when shit gets too stink and get rid of it, in Antigua our sense of smell is not working well so we persist with shitty ABLP
