Morella Joseph
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Morella Joseph was the first woman in the history of Saint Lucia to become president of a political party. After the surprising resignation of Vaughan Lewis, Joseph ran off with the victory in the October, 2000 elections of the right-wing United Workers' Party. Her victory was not very well received by some sectors of the press and of the electorate. In the elections of the same year, Morella lost the opportunity to occupy a seat in Parliament upon being defeated by the candidate of the Saint Lucia Labour Party.
