Dominica News Online – Residents of Antigua and Barbuda are preparing to head back to the polls on October 24 to vote in a by-election, nine months after the general elections.
The country’s leader, Gaston Browne, has announced the date for the by-election, which is an opportunity for the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party candidate Dwayne George to secure his seat in the Ministry of Finance.
Browne emphasized that the by-election is not about George, but about the constituents.
The race will be contested by four candidates: Dwayne George from the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party, Kelvin Shugy Simon from the UPP, Nigel Bascus from the Missing Link-Voice of the People (MLVOP) Party, and Andrew Antonio from the Democratic National Alliance Candidate (DNA).
Simon had previously won the seat for the constituency in the January 18 election, but he resigned as the Parliamentary Representative on June 7.
According to the law, Simon’s resignation triggered a by-election, which must be held within 120 days.
Simon had stepped down to avoid negatively affecting his constituents with a prolonged legal battle.
The ruling ABLP had filed an election petition, questioning Simon’s eligibility for office, and he believed that this could lead to a lengthy legal dispute that would be detrimental to the constituents’ interests.

So if Gatson Browne thinks it’s not about his candidate but the rather the constituents, well why change from Samantha to this guy call George?
I ask this question, because why would any constituent vote for a Judas like George, a man that cannot be trusted?
Gatson Brown is certainly not looking out for the people of SMS at all as he thinks.
Send the best representative for the people of SMS Gatson, because this guy call “George” is certainly not it, not by his track record.
Wasn’t this the same guy who was just recently cussing out your party the ALBP just last year leadinhg up to the general election, and now all of a sudden he change his spots from a leopard to a snake?
No one is perfect, certainly not Mr Simon either,but life is about options, and Shuggy is clearly a better option for the seat of SMS, no t this Judas called “George”.
But continue.
My fear GASTON loves TRAITORS…. Lamin…. Donna Chaia….. DRIFTWOOD….COLIN ONEAL ….how can he TRUST these traitors bcos they ddnt get what they wanted from UPP…..
I’m sure they spilled their guts on what UPP do behind closed doors NON OF THEM SHOULD EVER BE TRUSTED
HOW PPL THEY SPEAK SO GUILEFUL OF TOU NOW YOU N THEM SMILING UP IN EACH OTHER FACES …. wah can go soooo!!!
It shows GASTON wants a WIN BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY AND DWAYNE WANTS TO BE ABLE TO RUB SHOULDERS WITH ANTIGUA WHOSE WHO….
Gassssston Browne thinks it’s not about the candidates, but more about the constituents.
Has he forgotten to take his medical prescriptions of RISPERDAL?
The Prime Minister definitely has one or two screws loose.
He promoted Samantha Marshall to St Mary’s South to influence the constituents of St Mary’s South, and then realised she wasn’t fit for purpose (and also didn’t have the muscle tone of Dwayne George 😁).
St Mary’s South by-election is definitely a gage and turning point for the future of Antigua as a whole.
Yes, Dwayne George is a Judas type of figure, but what does it say about Gaston Browne?
WHAT IS WORSE THAN A JUDAS TO THE CITIZENS OF ANTIGUA & BARBUDA?
IS IT THE DEVIL …? 👿
TODAY,I LISTENED TO OBSERVER NEWS AT NOON.I HEARD A CLIP OF GASTON’S VOICE.HE WAS SAYING THAT JOLLY BEACH WOULD BE EMPLOYING A HUNDRED WORKERS FROM ST MARY’S SOUTH CONSTITUENCY.IF ANYONE NEEDS AN APPLICATION TO SEE DWAYNE GEORGE.I THOUGHT JOLLY BEACH IS RUN BY BARRETT.SO WHY THE HECK WOULD THEY HAVE TO GET AN APPLICATION FROM THAT BETRAYER.IS HE WORKING FOR JOLLY BEACH IN THEIR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT.GASTON ALSO WENT ON TO SAY.IF GEOGE WON HIS SEAT HE WOULD BE WORKING IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE.THINK ABOUT THAT FOLKS IN THE MINISTRY THAT IS SCREWED UP NOW.ONLY TO BRING IN A PERSON WITH NO FINANCIAL BACKGROUND.THERE IS NO WONDER THE COUNTRY’S FINANCES ARE SO MESSED UP.
Well, well, well! @ WHARF RAT.
The ABLP are introducing self imposed job discriminatory practices that will exclude citizens that live outside of St Mary’s South.
How is this ILLEGAL practice ever allowed?
If anyone resides OUTSIDE of SMS, they should apply to Jolly Beach for one of the 100 job positions.
It would be interesting to know how anyone who is well qualified for a position would NOT be considered, just because they do not live in St Mary’s South district.
THIS MUST BE SOME SORT OF JOKE!
And on an even more nefarious level, how has Jolly Beach got themselves involved in this political COLLUSION with the ABLP.
Is the government now LOBBYING on behalf of companies, instead of their constituents?
And what is in it for Jolly Beach long or short term?
Furthermore, how far does this CORPORATE lobbying go on throughout the country?
MY WORD, FOOD FOR THOUGHT, MY FELLOW ANTIGUANS 🤔
Brixtonian 🦸🏾♂️ always searching and LOOKING OUT for bad practices against the citizens of Antigua & Barbuda – UP UP AND AWAY MI AH TELL YOU … WHOOSE!!!
@BRIX:THE PEOPLE ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN.THAT IS WHY GASTON DOES IT.BACK IN MY DAYS IN ANTIGUA.THAT BULL CHIT THAT IS HAPPENING NOW.COULD NOT HAPPENED IN MY TIME IN ANTIGUA.BACK THEN WE THE PEOPLE HAD LOTS OF BACKBONES AND BALLS AND WERE NOT AFRAID OF ANYONE OR ANYTHING.GOOD LUCK ANTIGUA,DEALING WITH ADOLF AND HIS STACHE.

This guy is obsessed with power and he knows why. One day, the books will reveal the true story. After the results, it’s a move on to St. Philips North. The constituents should start anticipating the goodies.
@Wharf Rat. Yep, these people do their corruption right out in the open for all to see with no consequences. Smh. But I’m not surprised one bit by this corrupt man call Gatson Browne, not one bit.
The Nigerians have him in their pockets and that’s a fact, then his greedy self now go try and mess with Russians and their money with his sticky hands trying to steal the mans boat.
One thing I can say is that he better watch himself messing with Russians and their money, especially a friend of Putin. We all know how deadly these Russians are when they want to get rid of anyone. He Gatson and the rest better remember they don’t have secret service detail like former presidents in America after they leave office,they better take heed.
