BLP has won 30 out of 30 seats and secured clean sweep victory in the general elections 2026. DLP leader Ralph Thorne lost his seat to Charles McDonald Griffith of BLP.

PM Mottley and her BLP faced Democratic Labour Party in their opposition with a leader Ralph Thorne who also lost his seat St John against the BLP candidate Charles Griffith. The victory has made Barbados once again see the rule of BLP in office for the next five years as PM Mottley called elections one year ahead of the scheduled day.

Mottley secured victory from her seat St Michael North East with over 700 votes and secured her position as the member of parliament for the constituency since 1994. Additionally, other candidates have also secured the victory in several constituencies against DLP and other major parties.

However, the reports came out of the slow voter turnout as it was outlined that it was even less than 50%. In addition to that, people also complained about not finding their names on the voters’ list which was another concern outlined by the people from different polling stations.

Even opposition leader Ralph Thorne was also not able to vote and it happened for the first time ever in any elections. He said that the process was very unorganized as he failed to vote in his constituency.

Mottley has built one of strongest global profiles of any Caribbean leader and has voiced at several global stages for the small island nations. She advocated internationally for stronger action against climate change. She and her party has also pledged to work for the growth of the economy in Barbados, improving cost of living and enhancing the presence of the country at the international stage.
