St Lucia general elections 2021:SLP gains landslide victory

St Lucia: Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) made a massive victory in the 2021 general elections by gaining 12 seats out of 17.

Notably, SLP did not field candidates in two constituencies where former UWP members are campaigning as independents.

WIC News has continually been on the ground for many months, and our ground based  predictions on this elections comes 100% true , notably we predicted that UWP would not get more than 3 seats .

United Workers Party (UWP) managed only two seats so far, the same number won by a pair of unique Independent candidates - Stephenson King, who recently departed from the UWP, and Richard Frederick, a self-proclaimed 'Independent Labour candidate'.
