ALLEN CHASTANET CASTS HIMSELF AS CHANGED MAN, BATTLES SLP ON TRUST AS ELECTION POLICY LINES BLUR
Citing his readiness to return to power, Opposition Leader Allen Chastanet cast himself as a profoundly changed man, taking to the airwaves on Monday night with the message to voters that he is a different leader than the one vanquished at the polls in July 2021. His strategic reprise of the UWP platform now appears to lean aggressively on populist policies—including the now familiar universal health insurance pledge and free tuition—that starkly mirror the social policies of the incumbent SLP government, turning the election into a battle over trust and execution, not policy.
