UPP Leader Jamale Pringle says October will be a busy month for the main opposition with 10 new candidates to be announced next month.<\/p>

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

Pringle says he is confident that the new candidates when announced will have the confidence of the electorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meantime, Pringle, dismisses concerns about recent resignations, including Dr. Edmond Mansoor, emphasizing that the real focus should be on new members who will soon be announced. Pringle stated that departures were due to personal reasons, not his leadership, and affirmed that the UPP remains united and committed to improving the lives of Antiguans and Barbudans. He criticized the Gaston Browne administration for failing to address rising living costs despite boasting about revenue collection. Pringle also noted that media reports of resignations often precede official party notifications, suggesting attempts to destabilize the UPP.<\/p>
