Results by constituency


General elections were held in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on 27 November 2025 to elect 15 members of the House of Assembly.[2][3][4]

The incumbent Unity Labour Party (ULP) government, led by Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves, sought re-election to a record sixth term in office. They were challenged by the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP), led by Godwin Friday, who sought to form government for the first time since 1998.[5] The election resulted in a landslide victory for the NDP, winning 14 of the 15 seats up for election, the largest supermajority government for any party since 1989.[6] In its worst result in party history, the ULP was reduced to one seat from 9, with Gonsalves as its only remaining representative. The party also saw several cabinet members defeated in what was the largest fall from government in the nation’s history.[7]

The 15 elected members of the House of Assembly are elected in single-member constituencies using the first-past-the-post system. A further six members are appointed;[3] four by the government and two by the opposition.

Thirty-two candidates filed to contest the 15 seats.[13]

Gonsalves fought the election based on the economy, political stability, and attracting investment in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Godwin’s NDP focussed on reducing unemployment, political change, the cost-of-living, and crime.[14]

Following the release of the election results, the ULP issued a statement saying that it would “keep working and advocating” for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.[15]
