The Windward Islands People's Movement (WIPM) is a political party in Saba, which holds four of the five seats in the island council of the special municipality after the 2011 Island council elections.[3]
Netherlands Antilles
Until the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, the party competed in island council elections and for the single Saba seat in the Estates of the Netherlands Antilles (which it won in the 2002, 2006 and 2010 elections). The party has also participated in the island council elections of Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten (until its merger with the Sint Maarten Patriotic Movement (S.P.M.)).
When Saba became part of the Netherlands in 2010, the 2007 island council stayed (where the party obtained 4 of the 5 seats) until election under Dutch law in 2011.[4]
