Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre, fresh from a one hundred percent vote of confidence as the political leader of the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP), has urged the party faithful to defend his administration’s work.
SLP delegates cast 261 votes in Pierre’s favor at the party’s recent annual delegates’ closed conference.
“This is the third time in the history of this great party that a leader has received 100% of the votes of confidence, and every time, I have been the Political Leader,” Pierre noted.
“Let us continue defending the work of this Labour Administration. This victory is ours to protect. Let us remain focused and continue the work of putting the people of Saint Lucia first,” Pierre wrote on Facebook.
The electorate voted the SLP into office on July 26, 2021, in the general elections, which the party won by a landslide.
Pierre promised to continue strengthening the SLP structure and nurturing a cadre of men and women worthy of serving ‘our beloved Saint Lucia’.
The SLP leader’s frequent references to ‘protecting the victory’ has often been condemned by the opposition United Workers Party (UWP).
According to the UWP, it is unfortunate that while the people of Saint Lucia experience high unemployment, out-of-control crime, and a high cost of living, that is the SLP’s focus.
“There could not be anything more political, anything more ridiculous, or anything more absurd or self-centred,” UWP second deputy leader, Dominic Fedee recently declared.
