The St Lucia Labour Party (SLP) came storming back into government in yesterday’s general election, five years after it was swept aside by the United Workers’ Party (UWP), the Caribbean Media Corporation reported last night.
CMC said preliminary results show the SLP, led by Dr Kenny Anthony, holding a majority of the 17 seats, winning at least 10 and crushing the hopes of outgoing Prime Minister Stephenson King, who had predicted a 14-3 victory for the UWP and a second consecutive term in power.
