The guy who ran St. Lucia's opposition party just quit after getting absolutely wrecked in the election for the second time in a row. Allen Chastanet was the only United Workers Party candidate who managed to keep his seat while the ruling Labour Party grabbed 14 out of 17 spots in parliament.
Chastanet had been leading the UWP since 2013 and even served as prime minister for a few years, but his party only won two seats last cycle and barely did better this round. The party held an emergency meeting after the loss, and the chairman told everyone that Chastanet had sent in his resignation letter.
The official paperwork gets reviewed by the national executive later this month, and Chastanet hasn't said anything publicly about bouncing yet.
