Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre will officially swear in his new cabinet today, December 12th, at 2:30 p.m., marking the formal start of his administration’s second term following the recent general election.
The ceremony is expected to take place at Government House in the presence of key government officials, parliamentary members, and invited guests.
The event will formally announce the ministers responsible for guiding Saint Lucia’s policy and development priorities for the coming term.
Prime Minister Pierre, who leads the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP), won a decisive victory in the December 1st general election, securing a strong mandate to implement his government’s agenda. The composition of the new cabinet is anticipated to reflect a mix of returning ministers and fresh faces, balancing experience with new perspectives to address national priorities.
“This is an important moment for our nation as we continue to advance our development goals, improve public services, and strengthen governance,” Prime Minister Pierre said in a statement ahead of the ceremony.
The swearing-in marks the formal launch of the government’s new mandate and is expected to be closely followed by the public and media. Observers anticipate that the cabinet appointments will signal the administration’s key policy focus areas for the upcoming years.
The ceremony will be covered by local media outlets, with highlights available across television, radio, and online platforms.
