Under the United Workers Party (UWP), the Soufriere Mini Stadium was upgraded to provide a world-class facility for athletes and the community. From improved lighting to enhanced playing surfaces, this investment empowers our youth, boosts local sports and brings pride to Soufriere/Fond St Jacques. #UWPDelivered #SoufriereMiniStadium
We honour the incredible heroes in scrubs, the nurses who stand on the frontlines of healthcare with unwavering courage, compassion and dedication. They are more than just caregivers; they are healers, advocates and beacons of hope in our most vulnerable moments. Their strength is unmatched, their empathy is boundless and their commitment to saving lives inspires us all. On this…
I support Hon. Allen Chastanet because true leadership is defined not just by vision but by resilience. Despite facing relentless, racially charged attacks from the Saint Lucia Labour Party, Allen Chastanet has never wavered. Instead, he has continued to lead with distinction. His focus has always been on serving and delivering for the people of Saint Lucia, not dividing them.…
The house at the top of this image is 1 of 3 model homes which were ordered from Dubai in early 2021 during the tenure of the UWP administration when Guy Joseph served as Minister of housing. It was deliberately stored away for 3.5 years only to be mounted at a later date to give the impression that it was…
Under the leadership of Allen Chastanet, even during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, two brand-new health and wellness facilities were constructed in Anse La Raye and Micoud, ensuring that healthcare access was expanded to more Saint Lucians. In stark contrast, Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre has now spent four years in office without delivering a single new health…

This initiative targeted seven key crops: pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, sweet peppers, cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes. Under the programme Farmers were trained and supported to produce the seven targeted crops, significantly reducing the need for imports. Seeds,…
In 1992, Saint Lucia’s tourism landscape changed forever, not by accident, but through the vision and determination of one man: Allen Chastanet.

May, once a quiet and unprofitable month, would become the heartbeat of Saint Lucia’s cultural calendar. Amidst scepticism, limited resources, and…
Under the UWP and the leadership of Hon. Allen Chastanet, banana export revenue was an impressive $18 million, reflecting strong support for farmers and a clear commitment to revitalising the agricultural sector. In stark contrast, under Prime Minister Philip Pierre, banana revenue has plummeted to just $3 million, a devastating $15 Million decline that speaks volumes about the current government’s…
During our tenure, the United Workers Party took a major step to support farmers by introducing pensions and insurance coverage. For years, many farmers, especially in the banana industry, had no proper coverage under the NIC, leaving them vulnerable in old age. The UWP’s initiative integrated farmers into the NIC system, providing pensions, health coverage, and protection against work-related injuries.…
When Allen Chastanet served as Prime Minister, his administration maintained a tight grip on spending, keeping the budget allocation for consultants below $81 million. At the time, then Opposition Leader Philip J. Pierre harshly criticized this figure, calling it excessive and wasteful. Fast forward to 2025 and now as Prime Minister, Pierre has allocated as much as $121 million for…
