Saint Lucy (BB Parliament constituency)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Lucy is a constituency in the Saint Lucy parish of Barbados. It was established in 1645 as one of the original 11 constituencies.[1] Since 2018, it has been represented in the House of Assembly of the Barbadian Parliament by Peter Phillips. Philips is a member of the BLP.[n 1]

Since the introduction of the single-member system in 1971, Saint Lucy has largely leaned towards the DLP until 2018.
