Congratulations have been pouring in from across the region for the newly elected prime minister (PM) of St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), Dr Godwin Friday, who defeated the longstanding leader, Dr Ralph Gonsalves, in the November 27 general election.

The Friday-led New Democratic Party (NDP) won in a landslide, securing a 14-1 victory over the Unity Labour Party (ULP), which had been in power since 2001.

In TT, both the PM and opposition leader have already offered congratulatory messages.
