President of Cricket West Indies (CWI), Kishore Shallow, 40, was Tuesday night selected as a candidate for the main opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) in St. Vincent and the Grenadines to contest the next general elections, constitutionally due by February 2026 but widely expected by December 2025.
Shallow was selected by the North Leeward Constituency Division, ending months of speculation that he was courting the opposition party, about a decade after he reportedly rejected a bid by the ruling Unity Labour Party to woo him as a candidate.
Shallow holds a doctorate in business administration, specialising in finance, an MBA from the University of Wales Institute, and a Bachelor of Science in applied business computing from the University of Sunderland, England.
He declined to give a substantial interview to iWitness News immediately after his selection at Democratic House, the NDP’s headquarters in Kingstown.
Shallow is one year and seven months into a two-year term as the president of CWI. He was vice president from March 2019 to March 2023 and a director from March 2017 to March 2023.
