Ralph Gonsalves who has been the Prime Minister of Saint Vincent & the Grenadines for the past twenty Five (25) years, has lost his seat to former Opposition Leader Dr. Godwin Friday, in a crushing defeat. 

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has secured victory in the 2025 national elections, concluding a quarter-century reign by Gonsalves. 

Dr. Godwin Friday, the party leader, will become the island’s seventh prime minister since its 1979 independence. 

The NDP’s strategic campaign culminated in a landmark victory of eleven (11) parliamentary seats, effectively ending Gonsalves’ extended political tenure.

As the new prime minister prepares to assume office, national attention is expected to focus on his proposed policy initiatives and potential strategies for addressing the island’s economic and social challenges.

Elections were held today Thursday November 27, 2025.
