Broad Support Greet Harold Lovell’s Return to Politics for All Saints West

21

Harold Lovell, former UPP leader, announced last week his return to politics to run for the All Saints West seat, receiving widespread support. Lovell, who retired in January 2023, cited positive feedback as validation of his decision, which he described as difficult and thought-provoking.

“It’s been very encouraging. The response in everyday life has been overwhelmingly positive, and many see my return as a strategic move for the UPP,” Lovell said. Barbara Coates, the previous caretaker, stepped aside to make way for Lovell after extensive discussions with her campaign team and party leadership, including UPP Political Leader Jamale Pringle. She described the transition as a mutual and respectful decision.

Lovell, who narrowly lost the previous election in St John’s City East by four votes, will challenge Anthony Smith in the upcoming by-election. He clarified that Coates approached him with the request to step aside and emphasized his support for her candidacy rather than any desire to oust her.

The move was endorsed unanimously by the All Saints West branch and community leaders. Lovell expressed gratitude for the support and enthusiasm surrounding his comeback.

  1. Drowning men clutching straws! Most amusing to watch! They will milk this story until the cow drops dead, inevitably.

  2. All the best sir, it’s good to see you back in the fold once again. The country needs the strongest and most experienced campaigners to revive our fortunes.

    The UPP revival continues unabashed, untainted and unashamed.

  3. Faithful National #1 tek um on and go crazy or drop dead, no baddy go miss you, not even Top Dawg he hab enough people to lick his backside, he tired ah fu you tongue now

  4. Justice for Sister Barbara. You all know this is wrong. He did the same thing o Joanne Massiah now Barbara. You all are soo blinded. This is history repeating itself.
    Your wicked and madmindedness will not see you prosper.

  5. dID WE EXPECT HIM TO SAY ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN what he said? I mean the man is shameless, but he just has to be in the spotlight. If he so eager to come back why not run in City East again? He scared he get blow. I bet Barbra wasnt in favor of the move.

  6. So that lady have been on the ground bonding with her people and because of political reasons you push her aside and place Lovell who knows nothing about the people there. Tato Tato you won’t win

    This 🤡 done WRECKED OUR ECONOMY under the WICKED “SUNSHINE GOVERNMENT” and expects people to forget the TRAUMA he and Cooks POND WATER put this country through???

    Mr. Lovell did NOT seek the required Parliamentary Approval before purchasing those “NEW” engines that we are STILL PAYING FOR!!

    He is still a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER to the development of Antigua and Barbuda.

    Kick him to the curb once and for all. Flush him down the toilet and into the cesspool where he belongs.

  9. The UPP is a democratic institution. When will the ALP host its very long-overdue convention? We are still paying a comatose actogenarian to represent constituents in St. Philips North and there is still another one with titanium teeth and hair as black as the floor of the Pacific Ocean and has to be reminded that Government Ministries are closed on Sundays. I wonder if the Labourats ever read the rebuttal letter, written by The Traitor of All Saints West, to the Money-Hawk. We have experienced this from all the UPP flip-flopers and very soon, there’s going to be a traitor leading the Syndicate. Mansoor for leader.

  10. I just love what is happening right now, Harold Lovell driving Gastonites and Labourites out of their corrupt minds, so sorry he could not run in more than one constituency. We might have to open another crazy house to admit them. Ah now e sweet

  11. Barbara coates did NOT bow out
    Barbara coates did NOT bow out
    Barbara coates did NOT bow out

    She was shoved aside for a 7times Loser

  12. We need a special type of asylum for the Labourites, we can’t send them to Clare View, that would be an injustice to the present inmates. Harold Lovell is responsible for this disaster

  13. Who wrote this article? He didn’t lose by 4 votes and there will be no by-election.
    The writer and editor both probably don’t live in Antigua. We welcome him to the political scene once again. The results will be determined by the constituents of All Saints West. We will have to accept the voice voice of the people.

  14. This is the real rastaman. The one who smoked herb since he was a yuteman and still remain intellegent. Never lost his way. Very intellegent and the incoming prime minister. Who vex lossssssssssssssssssssss

  15. Incoming what? Stop your shit talk! There’s no way a man on viagra going to replace a ras dread like Gaston Browne. Weak links like Lovell could never be rastas and smoking don’t make you a Rasta.

  16. I’m a bit skeptical of the claim that his return has been ‘overwhelmingly positive.’ While some may be happy to see him back, there are also many questions about his sudden interest in the All Saints West constituency. After a long absence, it’s natural for people to be cautious. We need to hear more from him about what specific solutions he has for the people there, beyond just a general sense of positivity.

  17. Poor Barbara Coates. You getting kicked about like a football. First from Batow in football elections. Now from Lovell

  18. I have to admit that I am a bit skeptical by this story.

    Waiting on reporters to put feet to the ground to ask the actual residents of their opinions.

    Maybe then the rest of the country will actually know if Ms Coates actually willingly stepped aside.

  19. Most people would agree that Lovell was cheated in the last general election from winning that seat. Its the general consensus of most that, that seat was brought and a lot of shenanigans took place that prevented Harold Lovell from winning. God sees and knows every thing that prevented Lovell from winning that seat in the last general election.

  20. While you all labourites bashing Lovell return. Gaston and his gastonites are sidelining all of you and putting all the UPP flip floppers in higher positions than you all. Why the Alp won’t call their convention that’s due more than a decade now??
