BLP eyes constitutional reforms

Barbados Labour Party (BLP) Political Leader Mia Mottley has announced plans for a constitutional congress in 2027 to consider reforms to the party’s leadership selection process and strengthen accountability within the organisation.

Addressing delegates at the BLP’s 87th Annual Conference at St George Secondary School, Mottley said the congress, scheduled for February 2027, would consider amendments to the party’s constitution.

She said the party’s current structure must evolve to meet modern political realities and suggested delegates should play a greater role in selecting the political leader.
