Candidate E. P. Chet Greene says he expects to win about 85 per cent of the vote in St. Paul as he seeks a fourth consecutive term in Thursday’s general election, expressing strong confidence in both his campaign and the governing Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party.
Speaking during a “Know Your Candidate” interview, Greene said feedback from constituents and internal assessments point to a decisive result in his favour.
“Unofficial polls are suggesting an 85-15 spread in terms of vote,” he said. “It sounds pretty much like what we expect based on the commitments we’ve had and the engagement we’ve had with people.”
Greene, who has represented St. Paul since 2014, attributed his confidence to what he described as sustained work across the constituency, including support for schools, churches and community programmes.
“It is not anything that’s happened overnight,” he said. “It is really predicated on work that’s been done.”
He also dismissed his challengers, arguing that neither poses a serious threat to his re-election bid. Referring to the independent candidate, Greene said the candidacy was “of no relevance,” while criticizing the opposition United Progressive Party’s selection.
“You don’t go in a community a month or two for election and expect people to vote for you,” he said, adding that some residents were “offended by the notion” of what he described as an outsider candidate.
Greene said he remains confident heading into polling day, citing strong support on the ground and longstanding ties to the constituency where he was born and raised.
“I go into elections feeling very confident, very comfortable,” he said. “Based on the work I’ve done, me and my team, I remain confident of the election on the 30th of this month.”
Beyond his own race, Greene predicted a wider victory for the ABLP, suggesting the party could secure all 17 seats in Parliament.
“All seats are in play,” he said. “There’s a national swing towards the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party.”
Voters in Antigua and Barbuda head to the polls on April 30.
