 The writing is on the wall that Antigua and Barbuda will hold a snap election this year but Prime Minister Gaston Browne urged the opposition not to be in a hurry to lose.

Speaking on his weekly radio program on Saturday, Browne hinted that the Election Day is “close” but he will announce it when he’s assured that his Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) will receive a resounding mandate from the electorate.

“Election will come when it’s appropriate for us to when 17 seats,” Browne said.

“I could call elections next month and the Labour Party will win the elections.”

Elections are due to take place between March and April 2023. Currently, the ABLP holds 15 of 17 seats in the House of Representatives.

Browne called on Antiguans and Barbudians not to be fooled by the “lies” and “deceit” of his detractors in the United Progressive Party and Barbuda People’s Movement since they are only concerned with benefiting from state resources.

He also noted that Antigua and Barbuda has seen tremendous growth under his stewardship and it is due to be one of the fastest growing Eastern Caribbean economies in a world plagued by COVID-19. (LOOP CARIBBEAN)

  1. Points to remember:
    Most corruption took place under this administration

    Forge signature and cover up,

    Execution of customs officer and attempted murder of another.

    Most Kidnapping ever taking place

    Passport scandal with a police offer who is friend with people in high places.

    Self enrichment by using tax payers money.

    Pensioners struggle to get pay (Remember you have a family member that has been affected)

    Vaccine Mandate that put you or family members out of a job.

    Less job more taxes.

    Citizens of Antigua don’t be fooled when this administration try to decieve you, finding money to do all kind of things now,because it will be more weeping a gnashing of teeth if we put them back in, let’s not make the same mistake again.

    We need a change from this dictator leadership and most corruption ever taken place

    • Well said, ‘,Bett’s Hope’, I totally agree with everything that you have pointed out.

      However, to defeat the ABLP comprehensively, I appeal to all the diaspora who are entitled to vote, to do so.

      Remember, if it wasn’t for the UPP fighting on our behalf we would still be locked out of our homes, businesses and not being able to see our loved ones 💔

      IF ANY OF YOU HAVE SPENT A MONTH OR MORE IN ANTIGUA – YOU ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE 🗳 WHENEVER THE ELECTION IS DECLARED 📜

    • Avatar photo Let me in my country now because you think that's going to translate to some votes ? think again you'll be lucky if you get one.

      @ Bett’s Hope we’ll written : LOL I almost fell out my chair when I saw the name and comments. welcome Bett’s Hope just to let you know if you don’t already there’s a Betty’s Hope with a” Y” moniker on this platform who’s a total Gassy waste collector and garage recycleist. I prefer this one a whole lot more which speaks the truth.

    • @Bett’s Hope
      Harrah… another Antigua patriot speaking the truth! I LOVE IT ❤

      My vote will be for ANYONE other than the ABLP. These dogs must be punished for what they have done to ALL of the people of Antigua.
