Adrian Williams Responds to Browne, Says “Defamation Is Not Leadership”
Adrian Williams has responded to remarks by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, saying leadership should be focused on solutions rather than personal attacks.
Williams’ statement comes after Browne, during a weekend radio appearance, revealed details of past conversations with the newly named United Progressive Party candidate.
Without directly addressing the substance of those claims, Williams emphasized what he described as the qualities of effective leadership.
“Leadership is not about tearing others down to gain attention,” Williams said. “It is about presenting real solutions, addressing the issues that matter, and earning the trust of the people through action.”
He added that political discourse should remain focused on delivery and vision.
“When the focus shifts to distraction instead of delivery, it reveals a lack of vision,” Williams said. “True leadership stands on results, not rhetoric.”
In a campaign message circulated publicly, Williams took a stronger stance, stating: “Slander is not strategy. Defamation is not leadership. Let policies speak. Let results lead.”
The comments mark his first public response since Browne indicated that he may disclose information about previous discussions between the two.
Browne has not yet released details of those conversations, but said during the broadcast that he would share what Williams told him at a later time.
Williams’ response suggests he is seeking to center his campaign on issues and governance, as political tensions rise ahead of the anticipated general election.

Gaston Browne is the kind of person who, once you oppose him, he turns on you—just like a bitter ex who airs all your dirty laundry. He openly claimed Adrian came begging for a job, asking for over $20,000 a month. And as soon as he feels slighted, he attacks—whether it’s mocking Pearl Quinn or calling himself Gassy Dread. He’s a petty figure, and Antigua deserves better. We have three weeks to choose a leader who prioritizes the well-being of our people, not petty squabbles. Let’s make Antigua great again.
Adrian is that the best you can do as a response “Defamation is not Leadership”. The questions to be answered is if you and the Prime Minister had discussions and what were some of the things discussed. It is as simple as that.
Better you stay Silent Adrian. Leadership is not defeating from bring clarity to people’s concerns.
1. Did you go to Chets house?
2. Did you speak to the PM and ask for things?
If not then Gaston lied…
But if yes then why?
Even if Adrian went looking for a job what’s wrong with that. He has the right to work in the country of his birth. Gaston just cannot escape the guttersniping he is not deserving of holding so high an office. Years ago I supported him when he was attempting to replace Lester. What an ERROR
Well, Shugy get competition on who is worse (l.o.l.).
Shugy like he talked too soon. Ah best Adrian had say nothing, as people for sure know now he a blue comrade, that go switch to ABLP when UPP lose.
All Adrian had to do was say the PM lie with his chest
This is not Guyana.
@once a supporter “country of his birth”??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣LMAO you know Ardiian is a GUYANESE 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
Also you the chairWOMAN cuss out Adrian stink on Juicy Joan show right??
You really cant make this 💩 up🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is Adrian’s constitutional right to seek employment.
The government also has a constitutional responsibility to create meaningful employment so that citizens can elevate and empower themselves.
So if Antigua has made Gaston a god, and he verily believe that he is one, then his loyal subjects, meanjng every citizen, has to go to him to seek employment.
Adrian is a citizen.
He has needs.
He has a family to provide for.
Absolutely nothing wrong with him doing what has become the norm
He has to go to the prime minister to seek employment, so be it.
That’s what the system has become.
Yes, it needs to be changed, YESTERDAY.
Until such time there is nothing wrong with Adrian going to him to seek employment for which he feels and knows that he is qualified.
This however paints a bigger picture.
It shows that Gaston Browne is a low life, trifling, egoistic, degenerate.
If becaise a man opposes you, you have to reveal past one on one conversation you are a disgraceful human being.
How do your cabinet colleagues trust you.
I guess tomorrow when Pixie leaves him he will turn around and tell the world how dead she was at the horizontal.
That’s not prime ministerial.
So Adrjan, don’t feel dejected.
Walk with your head high.
Hit him below the belt.
The object of a quarrel is not to win points.
It is to hurt your opponent.
If he goes low, dig a tunnel under the ground and go through it.
The pressure is on.
They are not as comfortable as they want us to believe.
Their days are numbered.
They have to leave the stage.
Why his place of birth become an issue ? I know Adrian as a small child walking around in the village. All his schooling is in Antigua. He know Antigua better than guyana so why pull that dirty politics game
@Wow, Adrian’s answer is quite in order and very professional. There’s no need to discuss what is already past. There is no relevancy to what is happening now. Everybody has there self worth and nobody can tell me how to value myself be me. You all need to pull yourselves down in the cutter to some low lifted squaller and that is why the PM is where he is and behave that why because he is entertaining people like you. Go take a look in the mirror, value what you see and be the change you you want to see

So asking for a job or begging a job is a big sin in Antigua these days according to this out of touch PM?
You need to swallow your pride GB,because every politician is a damn beger . It’s the people you came and beg GB to put you in the position your are now, and now that you are rich and in your high place,your pompous butt always acting like you’re better than the others.
Get a grip you out of touch PM..Antigua is bigger than you, and you too will soon come to an end in this political system we call democracy.
You are no leader, but trying your best every day to bully your peers and opposition.
Who taught you those moves,your master Allen Sanford?
I bet he is still advising you from prison. 😂.
This fraud they call GB and his joker Cutie has to be removed from office..They are a scourge on Antigua..just look at the violence and crime problems in Antigua. Are they not the leaders who say they are the best to run the island,why ain’t things getting done by this justice System in Antigua?
So here I am begging you all to vote this man out of office, yes that word you’re too proud to use GB,I’m begging you all.
@DOREEN EDMAN what exactly is professional about Adrian’s response other than he has not responded to the issues raised by the Prime Minister in his discussion with him. Adrian is now in the political arena as a candidate and has to be able to deal with the cut and thrust of politics. There is relevancy to what is happening because it makes Adrian looks like a person with little integrity. The Prime Minister has said certain things and Adrian’s response cannot simply be “Defamation is not Leadership”. He would be better off not responding. Is the Prime Minister trying to defame him? I don’t think so.
THOSE TWO PEOPLE GASTON SITTING BETWEEN,IN THE STUDIO.HE IS NOT AFRAID THEY STABBED HIM INTO HIS BACK? THOSE TWO USED TO ASSASSINATE HIS CHARACTER AT ONE TIME.NOW THEY ARE ON THEIR KNEES KISSING HIS RING. FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY,THEY WOULD DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING,YES ANYTHING.
I noticed that he has not refuted the claims made by the Prime Minister. How was he defamed?
