UWP TO BECOME A FULL MEMBER OF THE INTERNATIONAL DEMOCRAT UNION (IDU)
CASTRIES, Saint Lucia - Monday, November 17, 2014 – Political Leader of the United Workers Party (UWP),
Allen Chastanet, joins with other political leaders and heads of Government of sister parties from around the
world for a two day conference of the International Democrat Union (IDU). This year’s political leaders’ meeting
(PLM) will take place in Seoul, South Korea, from November 19-21.
Mr. Chastanet’s participation is particularly important because the United Workers party (UWP) has been
recommended for membership. When ratified the UWP will be elevated from Observer status to full
membership after signing the IDU Declaration of Principles. The UWP has had a long and fruitful
relationship with the IDU and continues to benefit from knowledge exchanges and sharing of best practice
from sister political parties that embrace common political philosophies.
Immediately following the 2 day meeting Mr. Chastanet will be among an IDU team who will observe the
municipal elections in the Republic of China (Taiwan).
