Prime Minister Phillip J Pierre has dismissed calls for a snap general election in St. Lucia, saying he will follow the constitutional requirements when announcing a date for the polls.
General elections were held on July 26, 2021, with Mr Pierre leading his St. Lucia Labour Party to a resounding victory, winning 13 of the 17 seats with two other successful candidates joining the government.
The other two seats were won by the United Workers Party.
There have been calls by the UWP for the government to call early elections, complaining of increased crime and socio-economic hardships.
