Dear Editor,
The recent rally in Parham, where Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle once again failed to name the United Progressive Party’s (UPP) 10 new candidates, raises serious questions about the party’s readiness to lead Antigua and Barbuda. For the second time, the public has been left waiting for what was promised to be a pivotal announcement.
In October, Mr. Pringle assured us that this unveiling would be a demonstration of the UPP’s preparation and commitment to governance reform. Yet, as the weeks and months pass, these delays appear to signal either internal disorganization or a lack of strategic direction. For a party that prides itself on being a resilient and time-tested institution, this continued postponement is concerning and risks undermining public confidence.
Supporters of the UPP, many of whom have remained steadfast in the face of challenges, deserve clarity and decisiveness from their leadership. The people of Antigua and Barbuda also deserve a robust Opposition that can effectively challenge the Gaston Browne Administration and present viable alternatives. However, repeated delays like this raise doubts about whether the UPP is prepared to meet these expectations.
It is not enough to rely on rhetoric about resilience and unity; tangible actions must follow. The absence of the promised candidates—especially at a high-profile rally meant to galvanize support—leaves an impression of indecision that the party cannot afford, particularly with the St. Peter by-election just around the corner.
I urge Mr. Pringle and the UPP leadership to take swift action to address this issue. Naming the candidates is not just a procedural step; it is a critical demonstration of the party’s readiness to lead and serve. The people of this nation deserve better than unfulfilled promises and missed opportunities.
Sincerely,
Stone

This is a reflection of the leaderSHIT ability of Mr. CA-CA-CAPA-SEE-TAH UPSIDE DOWN BIBLE PRINGLE.
The “candidates” have no faith in his abilities or lack thereof. If they did, they would be flocking to identify with him
The Chairman of the Party says that the Political Leader did not say in his new years day message that he would announce the candidates. Now it seems as if the Chairman is just as daft as the political leader. Look at the message and you will see that he said that he would announce the candidates. The UPP is really in disarray when even the Chairman does not know what the hell is going on in her party.
@Help us Lord
They don’t call her the “CHAOS DEMON” for nothing
As an ardent support of the UPP I am not at all happy with what is going on it is like a vehicle stalled that needs a mechanic we have to do better, I will never vote labour but not everyone thinks like I do
They need remove this guy from the driver’s seat
