The governing Antigua Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) is scheduled to launch its political campaign on December 19.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The announcement was made on Saturday by Prime Minister Gaston Browne as he delivered a speech to mark V.C. Bird Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

V.C. Bird Day is held to honor the nation\u2019s first prime minister and ABLP founder, Sir Vere Cornwall Bird.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Browne, while hinting at a possible reveal of election dates, disclosed that his party\u2019s plans to begin its pre-election campaign activities.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWe are literally a few months away from the constitutionally due date of general elections.<\/p>\n

I know many of you are getting anxious for me to call elections and you can be assured elections are imminent, but we must commence our campaign in earnest,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Browne also stated that the party plans to enact an intense campaign, believing it to be what Sir Vere, would have wanted.<\/p>\n

The announcement is likely to ramp up the political activities of all three major parties as the impending elections.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A general election is constitutionally due by March 2023.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The ABLP, which in the 2018 general election won 15 of the 17 seats in the Parliament endorsed its slate of candidates in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The main challenge to the ABLP will come from the main opposition United Progressive Party, which won one seat in the 2018 general election.<\/p>\n
