As Barbadians heads to the polls, the ruling BLP presents its record—but voters must separate achievement from aspiration

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, January 31, 2026 -WiredJa | On February 11, 2026, Barbadians will render judgement on seven years of Barbados Labour Party governance. Prime Minister Mia Mottley’s administration has laid its case before the electorate in the form of the “Red Record”—a catalogue of claimed achievements spanning economic management, social investment, and worker protections. The document reads like a manifesto of accomplishment. But manifestos are written by governments; verdicts belong to voters.
