Momentum with NDP says Nigel Stephenson

With general elections scheduled to take place in St Vincent and the Grenadines on Thursday November 27, 2025 the opposition New Democratic Party remains confident of victory.

This has led the party’s Vice President, Nigel ‘Nature’ Stephenson to declare that “the momentum is with the New Democratic Party”.

Stephenson, one of the NDP’s two vice presidents made the declaration on Sunday night, November 18, 2025 while speaking at a meeting of the NDP in the Central Leeward town of Barrouallie.

“Central Leeward, St Vincent and the Grenadines, the momentum is with the New Democratic Party,” Stephenson told those attending the meeting.

He said wherever the NDP goes “the crowd is getting bigger and bigger”, adding that his party has been preparing itself for a very long time to be able to serve all the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines.

“We know precisely what our people need and we have prepared ourselves.”

Stephenson, who is the incumbent representative for South Leeward, promised that the NDP will work “relentlessly” for a better life for all Vincentians.

Among the NDP’s plans is to transform Barrouallie into a blue community, and Stephenson said this would bring added benefits to residents of the fishing community.

The South Leeward representative is also promising that under a NDP administration, St Vincent and the Grenadines would move from stagnation, to peace and prosperity.

The incumbent MP for Central Leeward is Dr Orando Brewster of the Unity Labour Party whom Stephenson considers to be an “absentee landlord.”

Sunday night’s meeting in Barrouallie was chaired by Roland ‘Patel’ Matthews, a former MP for the constituency of North Leeward for the NDP.

In the 2020 general elections, he was defeated by the ULP’s Carlos James.

Matthews told the gathering that families in St Vincent and the Grenadines will do better with a New Democratic Party administration.

“You have to go out in your numbers and vote for change,” Matthews urged.
