Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley was sworn in for a second term after her party appeared to have swept every legislative seat in the first elections the island nation held as a republic since casting off the British monarchy.
Mottley retained her position as the Prime Minister after her Barbados Labour Party swept the General Election 30-0.
Mottley became the first Prime Minister to be sworn in by the island’s first President Dame Sandra Mason after the first general election since Barbados transitioned to a parliamentary Republic.
She is the eighth person to hold the position of Prime Minister of Barbados and also was the first prime minister under the republic system.
