BRIDGETWON, Barbados- Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley has led the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) to an unprecedented 30-0 victory for the third successive time in Barbados’ electoral history.

Mottley's BLP won all 30 seats available in the elections on February 11, 2026, unseating Opposition Leader Ralph A. Thorne, after the prime minister built one of the strongest global profiles of any Caribbean leader, and was supported by voters across the country.

"Our mission first and foremost is to stop poor people from being poor and to remove injustice wherever it exists to create opportunities for people," Mottley said in a victory speech on election night.

Surrounded by supporters dressed in red, she announced that Friday, February 13, 2026, would be a public bank holiday in Barbados.

The 60-year-old prime minister also promised to take care of Barbados' democracy, which last year celebrated 75 years since people earned the right to vote without owning property.

Her party has vowed to continue to focus on the economy, cost-of-living and the Caribbean nation's place on the international stage.
