Saint Lucia PM says elections will be ‘very soon’

Prime Minister Allen Chastanet has indicated that elections will be held soon.

“Very soon we will have an opportunity to go to the polls to re-strengthen that mission that we have and continue to work together to build a new Saint Lucia,” he said in a video recording posted on his official Facebook page.

Chastanet also posted a message in writing.

The message asserted that despite ceaseless efforts to sully the work of his government, and the unashamed baseless attacks against the administration’s  most noble intentions, his government remains resolute to continue delivering a brighter future for Saint Lucians in this new and challenging world.

“Whilst they talk, we work!” Chastanet declared in the Facebook page Saturday to mark his administration’s fourth year in office.He said that since being elected on June 6th, 2016, the UWP Government has remained focused and worked extremely hard to put Saint Lucia back on the right path to prosperity.

“Over the last 4 years, we have been able to make significant strides in our quest to “Build a New Saint Lucia which benefits ALL”, the PM observed.

“As we reflect on the progress over the last 4 years, I take the opportunity to share some 200 projects and achievements that have benefited Saint Lucians in every corner of the island and across every sector of the economy,” Chastanet said.

The Facebook post was accompanied by a link to a slide share of the achievements of the United Workers Party.
