Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party Denounces Baseless Accusations by UPP
In a perplexing turn of events, the United Progressive Party (UPP) and its candidate, Kelvin “Shugy” Simon, have once again chosen to cast doubt on the integrity of our nation’s electoral process. This marks the second time the UPP and Mr. Simon have resorted to baseless accusations, undermining the foundation of our democracy.
Their latest claim revolves around allegations of criminal activity orchestrated by the Antigua Labour Party to interfere with the upcoming by-election in St. Mary’s South. While we respect the right to scrutinize electoral processes, we firmly condemn the UPP’s reckless and unproven claims.
The UPP and Mr. Simon assert that operatives of the Antigua Labour Party are involved in criminal activities aimed at undermining the by-election. The specific allegation is that residents are being offered cash for the surrender of their voter identification cards, with the presumed intent of suppressing support for Mr. Simon.
We must clarify that such transactions, if true, are indeed a criminal offense under the Representation of the People Act. However, it is essential to underscore that allegations do not constitute facts, and until credible evidence is presented, these claims remain unsubstantiated.
In response to these allegations, the UPP is offering a reward of $10,000 to anyone who can provide credible evidence that can lead to the prosecution of the individuals involved in these alleged offenses. While we appreciate their commitment to ensuring the sanctity of our democratic processes, it is worth noting that this reward seems more like a political stunt than a genuine concern for election integrity.
*Furthermore, it has come to our attention that there have been reports of the destruction of Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party paraphernalia across the constituency of St. Mary’s South. We strongly denounce any form of political vandalism, which only serves to undermine the principles of fair competition and freedom of political expression.*
The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party reaffirms its commitment to free and fair elections. We hold our democratic values in the highest regard, and we stand firmly against any actions that may undermine the electoral process. However, we insist that accusations should be based on concrete evidence and not used as a means to gain political leverage.
Our democracy is strong and resilient, and it is a disservice to the people of Antigua and Barbuda to create unnecessary doubt and mistrust in our electoral system. We call upon the UPP and Mr. Simon to engage in a fair and principled campaign, one that focuses on the issues and not unfounded allegations.
In the interest of transparency and accountability, we encourage all citizens to remain vigilant, but also to demand that any allegations of wrongdoing be substantiated with credible evidence before jumping to conclusions. Our democracy is too precious to be tainted by baseless claims.

And the Labourites and Gastonites are out in numbers trying to defend the indefensible. You would have to be a diseased,cool-aid drinking idiot, not to know that ALP has NEVER won a fair election in Antigua and Barbuda. It’s what they’re known for. Do absolutely nothing for almost five years, then resort to coercion, treating, and skulduggery to steal elections. We heard the DAWG. He did not have to campaign. Why? All you need is a grade six education to figure it out. We heard Tintin and the million dollar Monday claim; we heard of bags of money in the dead of night in City East.
I hope ALP is taken to the courts for their blatant, dishonest disregard for law and order. Cuss all you want Labourites and Gastonites, only the dunces (your own calls you uneducated) will deny the obvious.
The damanable thing about it is that Antiguans are so gullible and shallow,allowing themselves to be paid or bribed for votes,forgetting how the country has suffered for 9 years under this lunatic, incompetent, narcissistic idiot PM.
Here’s hoping a clear message is sent to ALP. You’ve be weighed in the balance and found wanting.
You sound so dunce . How did Shuggy won the seat if ABLP never won a fair election. You all are so bias and desperate. Dwayne George is by far better suitable to represent St.Mary’s South than Shuggy. You all just voting party colors and don’t give a crap about country. People want to be empowered. All are you good for is to criticize progress . We voting Dwayne tek dat . Shuggy have nothing to offer . Dwayne providing Jobs to the constituents so are you can’t say he giving handouts. Pure waste and bitter dunces you all be in Upp.
DESPERATE TIMES CALLS FOR DESPERATE MEASURES.
LAUGHABLE, ESPECIALLY COMING FROM A PARTY THAT DOESN’T KNOW WHAT INTEGRITY AND TRANSPARENCY MEANS.
GASTON 🥸 CRYING WOLF 🐺 HEHEHE 😂😂😂
FIX THE DAMN ECONOMY, YOU NAH SEE THE COST OF LIVING UP BY 6.6% ON YOUR WATCH 👀
🎵”He Party Party Party Done … “🎵
🎧Wheeeeeel 🎤and 🔊 come again
… Economy tanking; cost of living out of sorts; rising crime rates; low wages and no wages; pensioners struggling; the TWO airline fiascos being swept under the carpet; lack of equipment and resources for the police and medical staff; St John’s is an eyesore (as well as the adjacent carpark); NAMCO; CIP and YIDA, no financial transparency.
WHAT A LIST!
And with all the ABOVE trials and tribulations for this government, what do tax paying citizens get from them?
YEP, THAT’S RIGHT, UTTER SILENCE.
Yet, Gaston Browne vex-up about UPP calling him out?
AS THE JAMAICANS 🇯🇲 WOULD SAY: “LEAVE THE STUDIO MAN …”
The Prime Minister and his party are again using “DEAD CAT” narratives to deflect from doing what they were voted in for … SORTING OUT THE COUNTRY!
🎶 Version Excursion (Part Two) 🎧 “Wheeeeeel …
My dear people, your vote is sacred! Do not sacrifice it on the altar of greed! Let your conscience be your guide!

Somebody is showing off that they just learned the term “Democracy”. I also notice that the Party has reverted to ALP and not ABLP. Not even sure why this article was written. Everyone with even an ounce of sense knows that ALP never won a fair election. Bribery, last minute sloppy paint jobs, a lot of busyness to fool those who are too gullible to notice or care, half dead ham and turkey, fans that don’t work, fridge, pay off this and that, stuff this in your bosom or hand are the usual ALP tactics. Somebody shaking in their boots and trying to find a way to steal the election from Shuggy! I hope UPP have poll watchers in every area to see the stuffed ballots and the miscounting. Time to get rid arh dem who are known for nothing more than raping our nation and making it worse than its ever been!!
Gaston clown said ablp move people from his constituency into others to help his colleagues.
The UPP paid big money to acquire the the US republicans playbook. They are putting it to full use. Republicans: Red wave coming. When that did not materialize: the election was stolen. UPP: SMS will be a referendum on the ABLP and PM. Now their polls show otherwise: the election is being bought. Republicans: blame Nancy Pelosi for everything. UPP: blame Gaston Browne for everything. Republicans: can’t settle on a leader. UPP: can’t find a leader.
If you follow US republicans politics you can predict what the UPP will do and say. Same talking points.
Observer radio = Fox News. Laura Ingram = Jacque Quinn.
As a matter of good national security the PM had no right I the UPP event. Any good body guard or personal security/ police should have dissuaded him from so doing. It is a recipe for disaster! Thanks 🙏 God Antiguans are a peaceful people and the UPP supporters as well.
You sound like a real dunce. It just proves UPP supporters want to turn Antigua into a hostile environment. The PM has every right to go where he like. What’s wrong with you people. He is OM for the entire country whether you support him or not. You people are sick. You all are so bitter .Anybody can stop the PM from going anywhere in Antigua? We need to put a halt to the kind of nasty vindictive hateful politics UPP under Giselle and Jacqui promoting in Antigua. You all are so bitter and angry and hateful. Giselle say she want a license to kill can you imagine the extent of bitterness boiling up in her for her to make such a statement. Power hungry till dem a go crazy . Antigua and Barbuda too small for all that hate. When you reach as far as to hate people over politics something fundamentally wrong with are you. Get a grip!!!
Two thumbs up
But this is their modus of operandi. They cannot compete on policy. Cause any policy they declare the PM will shoot it down and show them how foolish they are. So their only way of opposing is to make baseless accusations and character assassination.
They have not ever campaigned on providing a better economic policy of moving the country in. In 2004 they maligned Sir Lester Bird so much. Showing video of a young girl claiming he slept with under age girls. And even though Lester took them to court and won his case, the damage was already done. The are following the same script every time.
Sad set of people.
@Frankly Speaking
SHUT U MOUTH MISS KNIGHT!!! Any Antiguan can go to any PUBLIC event. Do so nah lub so!! UPP tried hard to get people to hate the PM, but based on the NICE WELCOME PM GASTON RECEIVED FROM UPP SUPPORTERS AT THAT EVENT, IT IS CLEAR HE IS LOVED BY UPP SUPPORTERS. After all, we are ONE NATION, ALL ANTIGUANS!
Those upp women enjoyed DANCING WITH THEIR PRIME MINISTER
Oh please Frankly Bitching. People like u just sick one marga dwarg tommack always trying to make Antigua seem like some kinda of lawless country just because the political party u back now in power. I’m sure if the opposition leader would go to an ABLP even not a thing go happen to him. Antigua people nah move like that despite what u trying to make is out to be. The most they do is come on here acting like a bitch like how u doing right now.
There should be a law that gives not only a natural person but also a legal person the ability to take those that defame the legal person to court and request for damages. The UPP has for years executed this strategy towards the ABLP. And they have never come up with a shred of evidence to support their claim. The reputation of a legal person is also worth protecting.
40 wotless years of Birdism and Browneism to the country, and all you can concern yourself ’bout is protecting Gaston Browne and his detrimental policies to the citizens of Antigua & Barbuda.
BTW, Did you complete your shrine to the Prime Minister Sidey? 🥸
the people deserve honest member of Parliament. GOD-FEARING man who dont turn he back on God………respect God respect the people, love the people. ex-Apostle Kelvin he changed for the worse….used to serve God now dancing with Satan kingdom
