PM Browne Vows \u2018Clean Sweep\u2019 in Next Election<\/strong>
<\/p>

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

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has called on supporters of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) to mobilise across every constituency, declaring that the party must aim for a complete victory in the next general election to safeguard the nation\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the annual Labour Day rally on Monday, Browne said the ABLP remains \u201cstrong and united\u201d and must be prepared to win all seats if elections are called at short notice.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe must be in a position that if we call elections tomorrow, we win all of the seats. We want nothing less than a clean sweep,\u201d he told the crowd.<\/p>

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

The Prime Minister accused the opposition United Progressive Party (UPP) of posing a threat to national development, characterising its members as \u201cvagabonds\u201d and \u201cdestructive elements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we do not destroy the UPP in its present form, it will actually get stronger to destroy our country,\u201d Browne said. \u201cSo understand that it is in your interest to come out in solidarity with the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party.\u201d<\/p>

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

He warned that the stakes were high, saying the upcoming election would determine whether the country continues on a path of progress or regresses under what he called an unfit opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth within the UPP because at the end of the day we’re going to beat them mercilessly\u2014and we’re doing it for you, the people,\u201d Browne said.<\/p>

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

The Prime Minister urged party members to \u201cguard your lines, join the battle, go into every constituency and mobilise now,\u201d adding that the date of the election is \u201cnigh.\u201d<\/p>
