Nothing will stop our victory, says NDP North Windward candidate

The candidate for New Democratic Party in the North Windward Constituency, Senator Shevern John, is confident that nothing will prevent the party from winning the next general elections in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

The senator expressed the view last Friday evening, July 11, 2025, while speaking at a meeting of the NDP in Caratal Village, Georgetown.

That area forms part of the constituency which Senator John is seeking to represent in Parliament.

“Nothing is going to stop us now,” Senator John declared at the Caratal meeting, during which she also told residents that the
NDP wants to put good people in Parliament “… that listen to you and that respect you.”

“People that cry with you, and that will be there in disaster with you.”

This is the second time that the female senator will be contesting for the constituency on a NDP ticket in general elections.

She was also the party’s candidate for that constituency in the 2020 general election, but was defeated by Montgomery Daniel of the Unity Labour Party (ULP).

Daniel, the country’s Deputy Prime Minister, is not seeking re-election. He has been replaced by Dr Grace Walters, a new comer.

In her address at the political meeting on Friday night, Senator John said, “ I don’t have resources to offer, but I am a people person. I am one who listens to you. I am one who will sit with you, because I understand where we all came from.”

The Owia resident expressed gratitude to NDP Leader, Dr Godwin Friday, and other members of the party for their care and concern for the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines.

She spoke about “an air of change” in North Windward, where people are hoping for a government that will represent their children’s future.

Commenting on the condition of the roads leading to Dickson Village, Senator John promised
that the NDP will invest in proper infrastructure, and also create meaning-ful jobs for the young people.

She promised as well that the party will boost agriculture and develop the Rabacca Dry River as a tourism site.
