Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley today announced General Elections in Barbados would be held on February 11, 2026.
She was speaking at Westbury Primary School where the nomination was held for the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) City of Bridgetown constituency.
Attorney Michael Lashley, who joined the party last year after resigning from the Democratic Labour Party, was the lone candidate and secured the nomination, completing the BLP’s slate of 30 candidates.
To much applause and literal bell-ringing, Mottley said she visited President of Barbados The Most Honourable Jeffrey Bostic today at State House.
She told Attorney General Dale Marshall, who was seated in the audience, to prepare the election writs.
Parliament will be dissolved on January 19, Nomination Day will be January 27 and Barbadians will go to the polls on February 11.
