Owen Arthur Barbados Labour Party
General elections were held in Barbados on 20 January 1999. [1] The result was a landslide victory for the Barbados Labour Party led by Owen Arthur, which won 26 of the 28 seats. [2] The opposition Democratic Labour Party led by David Thompson, only won two seats. Voter turnout was 63.4%. [1]
At the time, this was the largest margin of victory since universal suffrage was introduced in 1951. [1] This record would be broken in 2018, when the BLP won all 30 seats in the House of Assembly.
