ST VINCENT & THE GRENADINES: ULP wins second term
The prime minister, Dr Ralph Gonsalves, has succeeded in leading his Unity Labour Party (ULP) to a second straight term in office in the St Vincent and the Grenadines elections, held on 7 December. The ULP's victory retained the existing parliamentary representation. The main opposition party, the New Democratic Party (NDP), led by Arnhim Eustace, won three seats to the ULP's 12. The elections were observed by officials from the Organization of American States (OAS). In his election campaign, Gonsalves made much of his belief that regional integration is the key route to development for the islands in the 21st century.
