During a passionate broadcast last week, Payne expressed his disappointment over the recent resignation of Anthony Smith from the UPP to join the ruling Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) administration. He emphasized that Smith\u2019s departure should be seen as a defection rather than a resignation, highlighting the gravity of the situation.<\/p>

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

Payne revealed his personal investment in Smith\u2019s political journey, sharing his deep disappointment in Smith\u2019s departure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI voted for him because I wanted to vote for the UPP. He got up and left, and that was a deep disappointment for me,\u201d he stated. \u201cI could not digest my food or sleep when I heard about his defection. For the sake of the young man and my constituency, I prayed it was wrong.\u201d<\/p>

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

The call for Lovell\u2019s return comes at a crucial time for the UPP as the party seeks to regain its footing and prepare for the next general election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Payne and Henry are hopeful that Lovell\u2019s return will inspire confidence and bring about the necessary change for the UPP to succeed.<\/p>
