Prime Minister Gaston Browne says the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party\u2019s recent campaign launch drew significantly larger crowds than its previous election cycle, describing the turnout as a clear indication of growing support ahead of the general election.<\/p>

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

Speaking on the Browne and Browne Show<\/em>, Browne said attendance at the event was \u201cat least twice\u201d that of the party\u2019s 2023 launch, pointing to what he characterized as rising momentum for the governing party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think indeed it was epic. The attendance from what I\u2019ve seen would have been at least twice the amount of individuals who we had at the launch leading up to the 2023 elections,\u201d Browne said.<\/p>

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

He added that the atmosphere at the event reflected heightened enthusiasm among supporters, describing it as \u201celectric\u201d and indicative of stronger backing than in the previous election cycle.<\/p>

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

The Prime Minister also highlighted the introduction of 10 new candidates at the launch, saying the additions form part of a broader effort to refresh the party\u2019s lineup and attract younger talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo it is evident now that we have stronger support than the last general elections,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

Browne linked the increased turnout to what he described as the party\u2019s record in office, as well as ongoing efforts to expand opportunities and strengthen the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ABLP is expected to continue its campaign activities in the coming weeks as political parties ramp up engagement ahead of the anticipated election.<\/p>
