Chet Greene Reaffirms Support for PM Browne, Addresses Leadership Challenge Rumors
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Barbuda Affairs, E.P. Chet Greene, has responded to a letter to the editor that speculated on internal conflict within the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) and suggested that he intended to challenge Prime Minister Gaston Browne for party leadership.
In his reponse, Greene he strongly emphasized the unity of the ABLP and his solid support for Browne.
In his statement, Greene declared, “The ABLP remains united, focused, and committed to the assignment of building a prosperous society.” He also praised Prime Minister Browne’s leadership, stating, “We are united solidly under the leadership of our political leader, Hon. Gaston Browne, and all identify with his outstanding leadership of the ship of state.”
The author of the letter suggested that WTP Radio station and the recent weekly newspaper were efforts by Greene to secure support.
Greene further clarified his role as the Member of Parliament for St. Paul’s, addressing concerns over his involvement with a community radio station (WTP Media) and a weekly newspaper (St. Paul’s Weekly News).
He explained that these platforms were communication tools designed to maintain close contact with his constituents and should not be misunderstood or misrepresented.
“They both represent progressive leadership at the constituency level,” he said.
Although Greene did not explicitly deny the claim that he is preparing to challenge Prime Minister Browne, he advised those trying to create division to focus on their own affairs.
“I know misery loves company, but I advise that you keep your UPP confusion to yourselves and watch us lead this country and its people to resilience.”
Greene’s response reiterates his strong support for the Prime Minister and the unity within the ABLP.

However, the rumour mill was actually started by disgruntled ABLP members, because word spread that half-a-dozen or so of the long time members were fed-up to the back teeth, at how Prime Minister Gaston Browne was fast-tracking former UPP members to high position in the ABLP, and making promises to other “high profile” UPP targets as well.
