The constituency branch executive of the Antigua Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) has recommended that Maria Bird-Browne – the wife of Prime Minister Gaston Browne – be the candidate to run i that constituency in the next general election.
Bird-Browne will be expected to contest in the St Johns Rural East constituency, replacing sitting Member of Parliament Lester Bird.
The branch’s decision was announced in a letter to the ABLP executive following its most recent meeting.
In that letter, the Chairman of the branch office, Claudette Mason, supposedly wrote that Michael Freeland tied with Maria Bird-Browne for first place in the overall poll.
Senator Shenella Govia received the next greatest support, followed by Senator Alincia Grant in third place.
Freeland, however was eliminated because of “integrity challenges.” So too was Neil Williams, who had made an application to run in that constituency.
As fate would have it, Govia, who came in second, subsequently withdrew from the process and pledged her support to Bird-Browne.
