The Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) is pleased to announce that retired Family Nurse Practitioner – Lelia “Astride” Harracksingh – has been selected as its endorsed candidate to contest the Micoud South constituency at the upcoming general elections.

Nurse Harracksingh who is affectionately known in the constituency as “Astride,” still actively provides free nursing care to scores of elderly and disadvantaged residents who value her service immensely. A former President of the Saint Lucia Nurses Association, Nurse Harracksingh was instrumental in securing better working conditions for nurses including uniform salary payment for nurses from St. Jude’s Hospital.

Nurse Harracksingh is also very popular among the young people of the constituency where she continues to serve as the Leader of the Pathfinders and Master-guides. She is Vice President of her district’s Seventh Day Adventist Youth Ministry which serves from Mon Repos to Vieux Fort North.

Although she has unsuccessfully contested elections in the constituency since 1997, she has never had the endorsement of any of the two (2) main political parties until now. She is confident that with the backing of the Saint Lucia Labour Party, she will put an end to the poor representation of Hon.  Arsene James in Micoud South and be part of the winning team     which will form the next Government of Saint Lucia.

The Saint Lucia Labour Party welcomes Mrs. Harracksingh aboard its team of candidates and is extremely happy at the enhancement she brings, particularly among women voters and vulnerable groups.

Meanwhile, the Annual Conference of the Micoud South SLP Constituency Group takes place on Sunday September 5, at the Desruisseaux Multi-purpose Centre. The conference commences at 4:00 p.m.
