UPP stands for the United Progressive Party. We are a people-first political movement focused on empowering communities, driving innovation, and restoring transparency and integrity in public leadership across Barbados. 

We believe in progress over promises, and action over noise. UPP is not built on political legacy or loyalty, but on real leadership, community input, and a forward-thinking agenda that places the people at the center of national transformation. 

Yes. UPP was formed in 2017 as an alternative to traditional political parties. After a period of realignment and strategic development, we are relaunching with a new generation of leaders, including youth voices, professionals, and everyday citizens who care deeply about Barbados’ future. 

The party is led by a dedicated executive committee, including our Public Relations Officer, Mr. Everton “Heru” Holligan. We are actively building a diverse team of candidates and leaders committed to the party’s mission and values.

Zero tolerance. We believe leadership must be accountable to the people. UPP advocates for stronger oversight, open governance, and community-first budgeting and decision-making.
