Saint Lucians will go to the polls on Monday, December 1, 2025, to elect a new government, Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre announced during a national address on Sunday evening. The Prime Minister confirmed that he has advised the Governor General to dissolve Parliament on Monday, November 10, clearing the way for the official campaign period to begin. Nomination Day has been set for Friday, November 21, 2025. The announcement, long anticipated amid heightened political activity and constituency rallies, sets the stage for what observers predict will be one of Saint Lucia’s most competitive elections in recent years. Pierre’s Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP), which swept to power in July 2021 with a strong mandate, will be seeking a second term. The United Workers Party (UWP), led by former Prime Minister Allen Chastanet, is expected to challenge the government’s record on crime, cost of living, and economic management.
