SVG: Cricket West Indies president Dr. Kishore Shallow selected as New Democratic Party candidate for upcoming election

President of Cricket West Indies, Dr. Kishore Shallow, has been selected as a candidate for the main opposition New Democratic Party to contest the next general election in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

The election is constitutionally due by February 2026, but widely expected by December 2025.

Dr Shallow will contest the North Leeward Constituency Division, ending months of speculation that he was courting the opposition party, about a decade after he reportedly rejected a bid by the ruling Unity Labour Party to woo him as a candidate.
