Mottley calls early Barbados General Election for January 2022

It is time to “recalibrate as a people behind one Government and one leader”, says Prime Minister Mia Mottley, so Barbadians will go to the polls on January 19, 2022, to determine who will take the nation forward.

Mottley made the announcement on Monday evening during an address to the nation that was streamed live across various platforms.

Nomination Day will be next Monday, January 3, 2022. This election comes a mere three years and eight months into the Barbados Labour Party term, after winning all 30 seats in May 2018.

“I need for us to unite around a common cause, unite behind a single Government, unite behind a single leader and let us unite to fight the threats to our safety, our development, and our prosperity,” Mottley said.

The Prime Minister said she visited President Dame Sandra Mason earlier in the day to start the process.

She vowed to support “whoever emerges as this leader”.
