1 min read

KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, Jan. 16, CMC – A member of the   main  opposition New Democratic Party (NDP),  St. Clair Leacock, says he will consider any visit to St. Vincent and the Grenadines by Taiwan President Lai Ching-te “in the middle of this year” to be interference in the country’s politics.

Debating the EC$1.85 billion budget for 2025 on Wednesday, the opposition lawmaker noted that Vincentians are likely to elect a new government this year — ahead of the February 2026 constitutional deadline.
