A major shift has occurred in St Vincent and the Grenadines’ politics as long-standing leader Ralph Gonsalves and the Unity Labour Party lost in the 2025 general election, ending their 25 year rule. Gonsalves, the country’s leader since 2001, suffered a decisive loss to the New Democratic Party, marking a significant shift in Vincentian politics. The NDP managed to secure nine parliamentary seats, enough to form a new government, thus ending the ULP’s extended rule. The nation’s seventh prime minister since independence will now be Godwin Friday, the NDP leader who has campaigned for years for political renewal and economic reform. The election results demonstrate a clear message from the voters who were ready for change, bringing an end to Gonsalves’ long tenure.
