Girard Highlights Economic And Social Needs Shaping These Coastal Districts

As Saint Lucia approaches its General Election on December 1, the Anse La Raye/Canaries constituency anticipates its inaugural two-term member of parliament since Cyprian Lansiquot's tenures in 1997 and 2001. Wayne Girard, the incumbent from the Saint Lucia Labour Party, seeks to defeat the United Workers Party’s Dominic Fedee, who represented the area from 2016 to 2021. During an influential public meeting on November 27, Girard highlighted his accomplishments over the past four and a half years and pledged more initiatives if re-elected. This election could mark the first time since Lansiquot that the same party secures the seat consecutively, as it has remained in government since 1987.Girard, supported by Prime Minister Phillip J. Pierre and others, underscored two recent developments—the West Coast Fire Station and the National Skills Development Centre—as significant achievements. He assured constituents that their needs are prioritized and promised a new police station along with continued infrastructure projects if elected for a second term.
