Sir Vaughan Allen Lewis, KCSL CBE (born 17 May 1940),[1] is a Saint Lucian politician and a former member of the United Workers' Party (UWP).
In elections that followed on 23 May 1997, Lewis and the UWP suffered a huge setback, losing all but one of their seats in Parliament, forcing him to resign in favor of the leader of the Saint Lucia Labour Party, Dr Kenny Anthony.
On 7 September 2006, the executive of the Saint Lucia Labour Party endorsed Dr Vaughan Lewis as its candidate for the Castries Central constituency in the December 2006 general election.
However, Lewis had been in talks with high-ranking members of the Saint Lucia Labour Party about his defection since he was defeated by Compton in the leadership contest.
On the face of it, Labour put up a good front, hailing Lewis as a great Caribbean citizen and intellectual who was betrayed by Sir John Compton.
Lewis failed in his bid to win the Castries Central parliamentary seat from the UWP candidate Richard Frederick in the 2006 general elections held on 11 December.
