Sunday’s rally in Castries will see the UWP to Unveil Promising Election Candidates as it builds momentum for 2024.
Castries, St Lucia – The United Workers Party (UWP) is set to introduce its promising slate of election candidates this Sunday, September 22, 2024, at a major rally on William Peter Boulevard in Castries. This crucial event sets the stage for the UWP’s campaign to challenge the ruling Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) in the next general elections.
Allen Chastanet’s Vision for the Candidates
At a recent Town Hall meeting, UWP leader Allen Chastanet expressed confidence in the large number of people who have applied to represent the party. He emphasized that each constituency will have one representative, but those not selected should remain involved in the party’s efforts.
“It is very important that every single person who has had the courage and also the willingness to participate in this process remains with the United Workers Party afterward and continues to fight,” Chastanet said, highlighting the long-term importance of every individual candidate.
Allen Chastanet also stressed that unity would be key to the UWP’s success in the upcoming elections. “A representative cannot win by themselves,” he noted, urging all supporters to rally behind the chosen candidates and focus on bringing change to Saint Lucia.
National Council to Finalize Candidates
Ahead of the Sunday rally, the UWP’s National Council will meet on Thursday to officially endorse the candidates. Once approved, these candidates will be launched across all constituencies as part of the party’s strategic efforts to win the upcoming general election.
The rally is expected to attract significant attention from the public, offering them a chance to hear directly from the candidates about their vision for Saint Lucia. The event is seen as a critical moment for the UWP as it seeks to gain political momentum.
Prudent’s Rallying Cry for Unity
Therold Prudent, UWP’s Chairman, echoed Chastanet’s call for unity, urging party members to avoid internal divisions. “Help us do the work that we have to do because the Labour Party is our enemy, not those in our camp,” Prudent said during the Town Hall meeting, encouraging a united front against the SLP.
Prudent also stressed that the road to victory would require discipline and dedication from all UWP members, emphasizing that internal conflicts should not distract from the goal of unseating the SLP.
A Key Moment in Saint Lucia’s Political Landscape
As the UWP gears up for the general election, Sunday’s rally will be a defining moment in their campaign. The party’s leadership has made it clear that issues such as economic recovery, public safety, and healthcare reform will be at the forefront of their platform.
