A new party called Reform Barbados is throwing its hat in the ring ahead of the approaching general election. Founder Steve Prescott, an employment law consultant, launched the group as an alternative to the established political players. He aims to contest all parliamentary seats, confirming he will run himself, likely in the Christ Church area connected to his family.

The party enters a field currently occupied by Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley’s Barbados Labour Party, which has finalized its full candidate slate. The Democratic Labour Party under Ralph Thorne and the People’s Party for Democracy and Development led by Joseph Atherley are also competing. Parliament will be dissolved to facilitate the national poll.

Prescott, who has Barbadian heritage, stated he has attracted initial supporters and is focused on candidate recruitment. His late father once lived in the Parish Land area before moving abroad. The election was called ahead of the constitutional deadline, setting the stage for a contest across all thirty constituencies.
