Saint Lucia elects on the national level a legislature. The Legislature has two chambers. The House of Assembly has 17 members, elected for a five-year term in single-seat constituencies. The Senate has 11 appointed members. Saint Lucia has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties, with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party.

The Labour Party triumphed in the elections, winning 14 seats out of the 17 in the House of Assembly.[1] The UWP won one seat; Micoud South, the seat of party leader Allen Chastanet. This was one of the seats the UWP had won in 2021; the other one, Choiseul, held by Bradley Felix, was lost to Labour Party member Keithson Charles.[2] Two independents, Stephenson King of Castries North, and Richard Frederick of Castries Central, were reelected in their constituencies[2] despite being expected to face much stiffer competition during the 2025 election. Both MPs were ex-UWP members.[3] After the election, Pierre stated, "There is a place in Parliament for the opposition, and we will move forward and work moving forward together."[4] Chastanet resigned as leader of the UWP on December 5.[5]
