More than 103,000 voters are going to the 250 polling stations here on Thursday to elect a new government in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, in an election that political observers say could signal the end of the political career of Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves.
Gonsalves, 79, the longest serving head of government in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), is leading his ruling Unity Labour Party (ULP) into the election, hoping for a sixth consecutive victory, but he faces an uphill task as the main opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) seeks to end their 25 years in the political wilderness under the 66-year-old attorney Dr. Godwin Friday.
Both the ULP and the NDP are fielding candidates in all 15 constituencies.
