Over 103,000 voters in St. Vincent and the Grenadines showed up to decide if Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves gets another term after running things since 2001. The 79-year-old is trying to lock down a sixth straight win for his Unity Labour Party against the opposition New Democratic Party, led by attorney Godwin Friday. Polls are all over the place with one firm giving ULP an eight-seat edge and a 64 percent chance, while another survey puts NDP ahead at 49 percent versus 44 percent support.
Both major parties are running candidates across all 15 constituencies with turnout from younger voters expected to swing tight races. ULP grabbed nine seats last election but this round looks way closer with the opposition hammering cost-of-living issues and promises of fresh leadership. East St. George has the most registered voters at over 9,000 while observers from CARICOM are monitoring everything.
