Disappointing Turnout at UPP Event Raises Concerns for Party’s Future in All Saints West

All Saints West, Antigua and Barbuda – The much-anticipated debut of Barbra Coates as the UPP candidate for the All Saints West Constituency met with disappointment today, as the party lies and trys to to blame weather conditions for the postponement, but a notably poor turnout plagued the event. Scheduled to start at 4 p.m., the rally and concert, featuring the popular local band Cutting Edge, failed to gather significant attendance, with only about ten people present when it was already two hours past the intended start time.

As vehicles drove past the venue after 5 p.m., onlookers were taken aback by the apparent disorganization. Several attendees noted that even as the event time lapsed, crew members were still setting up for the concert, creating an atmosphere of unpreparedness. Moreover, crucial supplies for the event, such as ice, were reportedly missing, further souring the experience for those who did manage to arrive.

The disappointing turnout has raised alarms regarding the United Progressive Party’s (UPP) ability to regain traction in the All Saints West Constituency. Observers noted that the event’s failure to attract a crowd reflects growing disillusionment among constituents that the UPP, under Coates’ leadership, might not be the answer to their concerns.

As hope for the UPP to recapture the constituency wanes, some party members are calling for a reconsideration of strategies and leadership. Speculation is mounting that the party should potentially bring back former leader Harold Lovell if they wish to present a stronger challenge in future elections, particularly in light of the Hon. Anthony Smith’s strong influence in the area.

Political analysts suggest that without swift action and clearer communication, the UPP could face significant hurdles as they seek to rebuild their support base in All Saints West. Today’s failed concert and rally may serve as a wake-up call for the party to reevaluate their approach and rekindle interest among constituents for upcoming electoral challenges.

  3. What weather?

    At the time it was abandoned, start time had come and no one was there.

    The field was dry, no rain. Only the shameful realization that UPP flop again!

    Bunch of delusional losers!

  4. @BOGGY PEAK. Nice try but YOU LIE!!!!

    “Several attendees noted that even as the event time lapsed, crew members were still setting up for the concert, creating an atmosphere of unpreparedness.”

  5. Now this is Pringle leaderSHIT on display. Where is party loyalist Charles Tabor to defend his darling UPP from this SHAME AND DISGRACE???? THIS IS THE 2ND TIME UPP EMBARRASSED ITSELF IN ASW.

    PARHAM, PARES, where next?????

    • @Well well well CHARLES TABOR? Them cannot handle and do not like Charles Tabor because he is not a yes man and blind dunce follower. I hear the Chair was even threatening to sue him some time ago for a statement he made. I know him and he does not take shit from anyone so Giselle Isaac with all her balls would be messing with the wrong man.
