General elections were held in Saint Lucia on 1 December 2025 to elect all 17 members of the House of Assembly. The centre-left incumbent Saint Lucia Labour Party won a landslide, increasing both its number of seats and share of the popular vote. This was the first time since independence that an incumbent government improved its performance while seeking a second consecutive term. The centre-right opposition United Workers Party won only one seat, equalling its worst result alongside the 1997 election. The election also ended a 24-year streak of single-term governments, marking the first reelection of a government since 2001.

According to the constitution, elections for a new Parliament session can be held at the latest five years and 90 days after the opening of the previous session. The first session after the 2021 election was held on 17 August 2021, leaving the deadline for the next elections as November 2026.
Campaign Pierre called the elections formally on 9 November, with a nomination day of November 21 and an election day for 1 December. The Saint Lucian parliament was dissolved on 10 November for the campaign period. The ensuing campaign largely focused on crime, healthcare, infrastructure, youth opportunities, and economic growth.
During the campaign, Pierre advocated for stability and cautious economic management. Chastanet meanwhile blamed Pierre for a declining security situation due to less American support of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force; this support was withdrawn amid human rights abuses by Saint Lucian police per the U.S Leahy Laws. Chastanet also called for a re-evaluation of the St. Lucian citizenship-by-investment program, which is an important source of income in the country but has been criticized by the United States for being allegedly exploitable by foreign adversaries.
The UWP's campaign was characterized as being rather inconsistent. Many members of the campaign sought to utilize the legacy of John Compton, the first prime minister of an independent St. Lucia and cofounder of the UWP, while others distanced themselves from him, seeking to instead create a messaging system outside of Compton. Additionally, while the UWP was seen as having grand messaging, said messaging was hindered by the lack of record on their part for their goals. By contrast, the Labour party ran a more ground-level campaign, capitalizing on their governance in the past few years to secure voter confidence.
Results The Labour Party triumphed in the elections, winning 14 seats out of the 17 in the House of Assembly. The UWP won one seat; Micoud South, the seat of party leader Allen Chastanet. This was one of the seats the UWP had won in 2021; the other one, Choiseul, held by Bradley Felix, was lost to Labour Party member Keithson Charles. Two independents, Stephenson King of Castries North, and Richard Frederick of Castries Central, were reelected in their constituencies despite being expected to face much stiffer competition during the 2025 election. Both MPs were ex-UWP members. After the election, Pierre stated, "There is a place in Parliament for the opposition, and we will move forward and work moving forward together." Chastanet resigned as leader of the UWP on December 5, but his resignation was rejected by his party on 11 December.
