Director of the Institute of Governance and Politics of Latin America and the Caribbean Augustine Ferdinand and Chairman of the New Democratic Party Daniel Cummings signed the St Vincent and the Grenadines Christian Council National Monitoring and Consultative Mechanism(NMCM) Code of Ethical Political Conduct for the 2025 General Elections.

The signing ceremony and launch of the Code of Conduct which would guide the conduct and  monitoring process for the upcoming general elections was held on November 4, 2025 at the Methodist Church Hall, Kingstown.

The five page stated, “SVG Christian Council and the NMCM are responsible for monitoring the Code, which includes the adherence to the letter and spirit of the Representation of the People Act. Although this Code is not a legislative instrument it is expected that all signatories, candidates and the parties they represent shall scrupulously adhere to it since political leaders have signed. The public is invited to register objections to any breach of the Code and report to the Council and the NMCM accordingly.”
