    Barbados election reflects will of people, CARICOM observers say

    -

    Feb 13 (Reuters) - ‌The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) election ​observation mission said on Friday concerns about ⁠missing names and inaccuracies on the electoral register were not significant ​enough to impact the outcome of ‌this week's general election in Barbados.

    "It is the mission's considered view ⁠that the results of ⁠the 2026 General Election reflect the will of the people of Barbados," CARICOM said in ‌a statement, adding that the electoral ⁠commission made concerted ‌efforts to address concerns ​ahead of the polls.

    Mia Mottley's BLP swept up all 30 ‌seats available for her ​third election ⁠running, unseating opposition leader Ralph ‌Thorne who ⁠told state TV he was unable to vote because he was not ​on the ‌electoral list for the district where ⁠he was ​competing.
