The Democratic Republican Party (DRP) extends appreciation to the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, especially those who voted for its candidates in the recently concluded general elections.
The DRP, the newest political party here in St. Vincent and the Grenadines fielded 6 candidates in the December 9th, general elections, which was won by the Unity Labour Party (ULP).
The party’s candidates contested seats in the constituencies of North Windward, North Central Windward, East St. George, West St. George, East Kingstown and South Leeward and received votes amounting to 154 in total.
Leader of the DRP, Anesia Baptiste says they are satisfied and grateful for the people’s help in allowing them to make the good showing they did in their first elections, after only 3 years of existence.
She said the party’s performance was historical in more than one ways, in 3rd party history, given that it operated under a lot of financial and other constraints and challenges, and half of its candidate slate entered the race just about 3 weeks before the elections.
