St. John’s, November 5, 2024<\/em><\/strong>. It was with profound sadness and great alarm that I received the news of the tragic death of Asot Michael, the elected representative of St. Peter, possibly due to foul play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until the 2023 general elections, Mr. Michael had a long association with the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party, to which he continued to express his commitment. His death is a significant loss for the party, made even more sorrowful by the circumstances surrounding it.<\/p>

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

The party will honor Asot Michael’s contributions to Antigua and Barbuda in due course. For now, we express our deep sadness at his passing and extend our sincere condolences to his beloved family, friends, and all well-wishers, including members of the Labour Party at every level.<\/p>
