Surprisingly, this has not been the case. The Labour party has shot themselves in the feet by not attending to the roads as promised and simultaneously making the same mistake similar to the last election by making their die hard supporters be treated as second &amp; third class. Only a few got treated with respect and they can be clearly identified because their voices are the loudest on the talk shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UPP&#8217;s&nbsp; theme song has been a bomb shell for their campaign. It has tremendously hyped up the supporters and say what you may,&nbsp;&nbsp; credit must be given to&nbsp; Harold Lovell. He has been the epicenter, the catalyst and the fuel for the competitive atmosphere between the two political parties thus causing&nbsp; UPP to be a major thorn in ABLP&#8217;s flesh.<\/p><div id=\"antig-247838889\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"IMG_0783\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With very limited resources such as paraphernalia, Harold Lovell presence has created a synergy among the UPP team .
