Kendra Beazer says his political push will centre on ensuring Barbudans benefit directly from development, as he prepares to contest the Barbuda seat for the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP).<\/p>

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

Beazer, a former Barbuda Council member, said his decision to align with the ABLP was based on the party\u2019s ability to address the needs of residents and deliver meaningful change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was more based on the people that I vow to represent and the capacity that the party has to really provide me with what I would need or what the people would need to address their concerns on Barbuda,\u201d Beazer told ABS.<\/p>

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

He added that his campaign will prioritise both physical and social development across the island.<\/p>

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

\u201cMuch of what I will be pushing is along that line. Infrastructure development, where the island is concerned, around the different key areas, health, education, waste management, and so forth, and then people-based development around education and meeting some of their social needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beazer said his broader goal is to ensure that as Barbuda develops, residents are equipped to benefit from new opportunities.<\/p>

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

\u201cWhile the place develops physically, the capacity of the people also develops itself,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
