The Unity Labour Party (ULP) and the New Democratic Party (NDP) of St. Vincent and the Grenadines have signed the 2025 Code of Election Conduct ahead of the November 27 general election. The agreement, reaffirming both parties’ commitment to a peaceful and fair election campaign, was signed with the National Monitoring and Consultative Mechanism (NMCM) on Tuesday.
NMCM Coordinator Godfrey E. Samuel noted that this year's code is largely the same as the 2020 version, with minor grammatical updates and an added provision for police protection for the Leader of the Opposition. While both parties emphasized the importance of a peaceful election, the NDP also raised concerns over a scheduling conflict, alleging that the ULP had reserved the same venue for a meeting. The NMCM has set up an office to handle concerns and will monitor campaign activities during the election period.
