United Progressive Party (UPP) candidate George Wehner has expressed gratitude and resilience following his defeat in the St. Peter by-election.
In a statement, Wehner thanked his supporters and campaign team for their efforts, describing the outcome as a symbolic victory for their collective determination.
“I wish to thank everyone who contributed to the campaign,” Wehner stated.
“The victory is ours as we did what many thought could not have been done.”
Wehner secured 570 votes, losing to Antigua Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate Rawdon Turner, who garnered 1,674 votes.
Despite the loss, Wehner emphasized his ongoing commitment to St. Peter and the nation, pledging to remain a strong advocate for his community.
“My commitment to Antigua and Barbuda will never falter,” he said, adding, “This Phoenix will rise from the ashes. Together we aspire, and together we will rise.”
Wehner’s statement signals his intention to remain active in politics and advocacy, reflecting the UPP’s resolve to challenge the ABLP’s dominance in St. Peter and beyond.

This 🤡 was ABANDONED BY UPP lastnight in Parham. Neither his party ChairMAN or Leader showed up to support him 🤔
Anyway u say a City East you really wanted to run in.
Not a single sincere endorsement from any upp MPs. Very telling. Very troubling. They left u to face the RED ANTS on your own.
If wishes were horses beggars would ride. Wake up Wehner and ride past St. Peter. Lies have become such a natural part of your psyche that you lie even to yourself saying how well you did in the St.Peter by-election. You’re not so young anymore. Pass the baton to your boy and go back to driving Ms. Daisy.
I do not know anyone is surprised this was always a Labour stronghold but the Lickspittle Squad will behave as though it is
He has not been successful in the two constituencies in which he was chosen to run. What makes him think that the tables will turn in the general elections? More progress will be seen by the residents of the area ove the next few months. I believe that some of the people who voted for him last evening will either stay home or vote in “Turner’s favour. You catch more flies with honey that with vinegar.”
He will always be in second place.
If it was not for Whenner intellectual ability or gymnastics semantics ability he would lost his deposit, because I contend that it’s on a great leaders coat tail the party members are elected, look at 2004 under the Hon. Baldwin Spencer that namba Adams who is not articulate or smart was elected because the people saw Hon. Baldwin Spencer as the key, Whenner outshine his political leader both himself and other UPP parliamentarian subordinates are more capable than Pringle, and that turn off public confidence in the upp leadership or ability to become the government, as with Gaston though obnoxious and repressive to the barbudans and their lands, the public have more confidence by his articulation which he Pringle himself praise him for. The upp may not be able to salvage a Richard Lewis again since the upp leadership create this balkanization narrative in the public, the present leadership could not remain in any administrative capacity while a renewal takes place with a change of leadership.
“…repressive to the barbudans and their lands, …”
ALL LANDS ARE VESTED IN THE CROWN!!!!! (except where privately LEGALLY owned)
As for Richard Lewis, over Man Cow dead body will he ever have a political future with UPP!
