Hilaire reacts to win, calls Election Day “brutal”

Reelected Castries South MP Dr Ernest Hilaire has described Election Day as “brutal,” reflecting on what he said was one of the most challenging campaigns of his political career. His reaction came as the Saint Lucia Labour Party secured a commanding return to office, winning 14 seats, with two independents openly supporting the government – an outcome many observers are already framing as a “16-1” victory.
