The market steps atmosphere reflecting on how far the people and country have progressed, with eyes wide open, are“ looking ahead with pride and purpose – 'Forward Together' – toward a stronger Saint Lucia for all” – welcomed Prime Minister Pierre's call to the political battlefield of ideas – 21 days of electioneering, red and yellow hardcore politics.

At the time of Prime Minister Pierre's election announcement, the United Workers Party (UWP) was hosting a public meeting in Anse La Raye,“talking solutions.”

“ They cannot read me... I am a mystery,” the Prime Minister said earlier this month.

The UWP on Sunday also scheduled a diaspora meeting in Houston, Texas, featuring Allen Chastanet, as they continue to thread the needle on accountability, GDP, taxes, fuel prices, healthcare, crime, cost of living, while fighting against a VAT-Free Holiday, for ALL Saint Lucians.

*** As of publication, Chastanet was expected to “ change course” en route to Saint Lucia. ***

The UWP has been acting on external advice and strategy, trusting in the hypothesis that Prime Minister Pierre” is not yet convinced that the SLP has the political and electoral advantage.”
