by-election was nothing short of a disaster. Where was the Political Leader? Where was the Chair?

This is no longer just a question of strategy; it\u2019s a glaring failure of leadership. Jamale Pringle, the once-promising face of the opposition, now appears ineffective and absent at critical moments. Leadership isn\u2019t just about words in Parliament; it\u2019s about showing up when it matters. On election night, Pringle and the UPP leadership failed to show up\u2014literally and figuratively.<\/p><div id=\"antig-1596717083\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The party looks weak, disorganized, and adrift. For supporters like myself, it\u2019s infuriating to see this level of ineptitude. The UPP isn\u2019t just losing elections\u2014it\u2019s losing credibility, momentum, and the trust of its base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is the direction of the UPP, then the party is sleepwalking into irrelevance. The ABLP didn\u2019t need to out-campaign them this time; the UPP did that job themselves. It\u2019s time to wake up, or step aside. The people deserve better.<\/p><div id=\"antig-3952726008\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiguabarbudaculinarymonth.com\/\" aria-label=\"CM key_WEB
