Dear Editor, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a time when bold, intelligent, and principled leadership is more critical than ever, Gisele Isaac<\/a><\/strong>, Chairman of the United Progressive Party (UPP), stands as a rare force of conviction and competence. <\/p>

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

Yet, predictably, she has become the target of recent attacks from political commentators who mistake strong leadership for arrogance and firm decision-making for dictatorship.<\/p>

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

At the center of this latest political theater is Dayne Knight, host of the Knight@Knight<\/em> show, who has launched a verbal offensive calling for both Isaac and UPP Political Leader Jamale Pringle to step down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knight accuses the party leadership of being \u201cantiquated,\u201d lacking strategy, and \u201ccomfortable in opposition.\u201d<\/p>

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

But one must ask: is this genuine critique or calculated chaos from a media figure determined to tear down what he cannot control?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be clear\u2014Gisele Isaac<\/a><\/strong> is not the problem. <\/p>

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

She is one of the few constants of intellectual clarity and organizational strength in a political landscape too often defined by bluster and noise.<\/p>

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

Her record as a former Member of Parliament, Speaker of the House, and long-standing public servant<\/em> reflects a career built on substance, not soundbites. Unlike many of her critics, she has actually led, governed, and produced tangible results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What critics like Knight fail to admit is that Isaac\u2019s leadership has kept the UPP not just afloat but relevant, in the face of fierce political headwinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under her chairmanship, the party has expanded its media footprint, refined its messaging, and introduced innovative programming\u2014most notably through the creation of programs like Talking with the Opposition Leader on Monday Knights<\/em> and “Morning Juice” with Joan<\/em> on Progressive Radio, a platform that has steadily gained traction with voters and intellectual listeners alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, it is this success that appears to have triggered the animosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reality is that the UPP, under Isaac\u2019s leadership, has begun shifting the narrative away from stale, recycled voices like Knight\u2019s and toward a new, modern, forward-thinking brand of political engagement. This has upset the old guard who still see themselves as gatekeepers of national discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s also address the gender dynamic<\/em> at play. The relentless targeting of Isaac\u2014often with language laced with thinly veiled sexism\u2014is no coincidence. When a man exhibits strong leadership, he is called decisive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a woman does it, she\u2019s labeled “controlling”<\/em> or “problematic.”<\/em> This double standard is not only outdated\u2014it\u2019s offensive. As one party supporter aptly put it, \u201cSome people just can\u2019t handle a strong, intelligent woman at the helm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Dayne Knight\u2019s attempt to paint the UPP as owing Observer Radio<\/em> for unpaid ads before the 2023 election rings hollow and reeks of political opportunism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Observer Radio<\/em> chose to air political ads without securing payment agreements, that\u2019s a reflection of its own poor management\u2014not of any wrongdoing by Isaac or the party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also worth questioning why Knight is suddenly so concerned with transparency when he openly admits his station spins stories to favor one political narrative over another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knight\u2019s assertion that the party lacks strategy because it hasn\u2019t partnered with Observer Radio is equally absurd. It is not the job of a political party to tailor its leadership choices to appease radio hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UPP’s duty is to the people of Antigua and Barbuda<\/em>\u2014not to a media figure\u2019s bruised ego or misplaced sense of influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gisele Isaac may not be everyone\u2019s cup of tea\u2014but she doesn\u2019t have to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is not here to win popularity contests. She is here to lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in a political moment where authenticity is rare and courage even rarer, that is exactly what she is doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anything, Isaac\u2019s resilience in the face of these unprovoked and unprincipled attacks should serve as a rallying point\u2014not just for UPP supporters, but for all citizens who value integrity, strength, and vision in leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
