In a stirring address at the 2025 PLP Gala, National Leader of the People’s Labour Party (PLP), Dr. Timothy Harris, issued a rallying call for transformational leadership and a “New Deal” to uplift the people of St. Kitts and Nevis. Speaking with conviction to a packed audience at the Royal St. Kitts Hotel, Dr. Harris laid out his vision for a brighter future fueled by competence, motivation, and a willingness to learn.

The Call for Change

“We need a new approach, a new deal if you will,” Dr. Harris declared, his words resonating with hope and determination. “One that will lift St. Kitts and Nevis out of the mire and take us to a place of engagement, involvement, and effective delivery for the good of all.”

Dr. Harris emphasized the urgent need for a highly motivated and capable team of leaders, committed to learning and adapting to the challenges of modern governance. Criticizing the current administration for its perceived arrogance and lack of expertise, he stated, “Those in government fancy themselves as experts, but their unwillingness to learn has led the country down the wrong path. It is we, the people, who are suffering as a result.”

A Vision for Renewal

Under the banner of this “New Deal,” Dr. Harris outlined key priorities for a PLP-led government:

Competence in Leadership: Building a team willing to embrace humility, learn from experts, and engage with the people to craft policies that address real needs.

Youth Empowerment: Prioritizing job creation and skills development for the nation’s youth, ensuring they are at the forefront of national progress.

Economic Growth: Reviving key sectors like manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism while attracting meaningful investment to drive sustainable development.

Energy Revolution: Delivering affordable, renewable energy solutions to reduce costs for households and businesses alike.

Good Governance: Promoting transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in all areas of government operations.

An Inspirational Message

Dr. Harris’s speech was met with thunderous applause as he reiterated his party’s commitment to deliver on the aspirations of the people. “This New Deal is about restoring hope, dignity, and prosperity to every citizen and resident of St. Kitts and Nevis. We will work tirelessly to ensure that no one is left behind.”

The People’s Labour Party, under Dr. Harris’s leadership, has positioned itself as the beacon of hope for a nation yearning for change. With a focus on unity, competence, and progress, the “New Deal” promises to chart a transformative path forward.

As St. Kitts and Nevis looks toward the next election, Dr. Harris’s call for renewal serves as a clarion call for all who believe in the potential of a better future. The message is clear: a new dawn is on the horizon, and with it comes a “New Deal” for the people.
