Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les ex­tend­ed New Year greet­ings to cit­i­zens at home and abroad, de­scrib­ing the start of the year as a shared mo­ment of re­flec­tion and hope.

She ac­knowl­edged the chal­lenges faced in 2025, in­clud­ing the ris­ing cost of liv­ing, eco­nom­ic un­cer­tain­ty, strug­gling small busi­ness­es, and per­sis­tent crime and in­se­cu­ri­ty.

She said these re­al­i­ties re­quired re­spon­si­ble lead­er­ship, clear vi­sion and a re­newed com­mit­ment to the na­tion­al in­ter­est.
