Dear Editor,
The United Progressive Party’s (UPP) candidate, George Wehner, suffered a crushing defeat in the St. Peter by-election. Despite his supporters’ attempts to downplay the loss, claiming he “did a good job,” the numbers tell a different story.
Wehner’s emotional breakdown after the counts were finished was a poignant moment as he hugged his son in tears. The scene starkly reflected the state of the UPP, a party plagued by poor leadership and internal divisions.
The facts are stark: Wehner garnered fewer votes than Trevoughn Harriet, which is a damning indictment of his candidacy. This outcome is all the more striking given Asot Michael’s absence from the race, which should have given Wehner a significant advantage.
Wehner’s reputation as a “crazy military man” has finally caught up with him. His years of creating trouble within the party have alienated many, and his defeat is a direct consequence of his own actions.
The UPP’s leadership, particularly Jamal Pringle and Giselle Isaac, must take responsibility for their role in Wehner’s defeat. Their inability to provide a robust support structure for Wehner’s campaign on the night of the count is a clear indication of their ineptitude.
It’s time for the UPP to confront the harsh reality of their situation. Wehner’s defeat is not just a personal loss but a symptom of a broader problem within the party. Until the UPP addresses these issues, they will continue to stumble from one defeat to another

Photos and videos of the sad, sweating, crying “beast” (as he calls himself) standing alone to face the music.
NO SIGN OF PRINGLE
NO SIGN OF GISELE
NO SIGN OF PEARL
NO SIGN OF SHUGY
NO SIGN OF RICHARD
NO SIGN OF SERPENT
NO SIGN OF LOVELL
The “beast” was ABANDONED by his UPP. Labour Party supporters consoled him. They were more sympathetic to him than his own UPP.
But this is typical UPP style…..use people then dump them!!!
This are very sad moment for the UPP,all the party Parliamentarians,and supporters need to sit down,and rebrand the party,and select citizens more understand political affairs,and world affairs, and not to think that Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬 is the only place on earth.
Noah preached for 120 YEARS and no one listened until the FLOODS came, then only then when they catch themselves they realized it was to late. This door of mercy is left open for us to get our spiritual lives intact.
When Antiguan realize labour party Gaston Browne only has Antigua at heart as a cash cow for his benefits, then only then will Antigua wake up but it will be to late. Our mandate is not of man nor politician, but of God.
As long as UPP is standing up for intrgrity, honesty, loyality, no self enrichment scheems and above all NO VICTIMIZATION, they have my full support.
They are NOT standing for that. They never did. It was all a smoke screen to get people to point the finger at Labour Party while UPP tried to cover its nasty sins. Thank God JOHN ASHE EXPOSED UPP TRUE COLOURS!
Forget the poor Whenner. Nothing poor about him. He is just reaping what he sewed. He is an unbearable, arrogant man. He has been terrorizing the membership of the UPP for the longest while and throwing his weight around. He even tell the leadership what he want to do and what not.
He is getting what he deserve. People in UPP not sorry for him. And plenty glad he lose. Let him go and learn some humility. This experience should teach him some.
“People in UPP not sorry for him. And plenty glad he lose.”
THIS EXPLAINS WHY THEY LEFT HIM OUT IN THE COLD ON BALLOT COUNTING NIGHT. NO “BLUE WAVE” TO STAND IN SUPPORT OF THEIR “SOLDIER”
The only real support he had was his son. That same son apologized to Richard Lewis at convention after Wehner’s DESPICABLE BEHAVIOUR when Pringle won the leadership.
Very poignant photo in the background of young wehnner consoling his daddy. No sign of his wife to help dry her husband’s tears. That’s a good son. Every father’s dream. Kudos to the youth man.
Wow 😳😳 is so you all treat members in you all party. Well well well Jesus take the wheel. He was running for UPP and plenty UPP people glad he loose. This speak volume. Well lord.
UPP is the Grandchild of PLM them was wicked too trust me very wicked
toxic wehnner
creates chaos in upp
Leadership of upp abandoned him
where is the “unity” in U-pp?
When your own reject you , you are well rejected!!!
The leadership of the party were not concerned with keeping unity within the party after the convention…. their mindset was who vex can leave ..Giselle said so
D Giselle Isaac and Chester Hughes live in St. Peter’s constituency why none of them ran against the labour party candidate ?
Cry my brother release the pain
A soldier of fortune has fallen
This brave soul has been stripped of his dignity
And lost the Armour of his battle
His brothers and sisters in battle
Has fled the battle ground he is left alone
And now stands alone with his bare flag as a companion
He has lost the battle but has won the war of surviving another day
OH ! Warrior shed no more tears for this formidable fight
Glory has become a good friend of tomorrow
That promises a brighter future to enjoy
You will triumph from the ashes to those that beckon on the otherside to join the fight for the Country you love
And give your best gift of service to those you love
nice poetry..BUT wehnner is no soldier or warrior! He is a BULLY..and odl people say every BULLY have its cooler. You should write a poem to apologize to Richard Lewis, his wife and his children at the level of NASTY BULLYING and MOCKERY displayed by George Wehner at UPP convention. all up in their faces with is shirt off screaming “TEK DAT IN YOU NEHNENN”
It is rumoured that he was driving on election day and the Former PM had to beg a ride to go home election night.
@Vengeance and that is the stupidity of that woman Gisele Isaac. Neither her nor Pringle was serious about unity in the Party. They will see the results of that in the next general elections.
have some respect for the “good Dame”
like it or not, she was DULY ELECTED.
upp just burry George Werner he can’t go up for no election again
@Woman Power I hope you know that an election can be rigged and lost not on what happens on the day of voting at a Convention or election but many things that take place before, The UPP convention was neither free or fair so you Giselle, Pringle and many other UPP supporters can continue to spread the bull shit that the results of the UPP convention were fair.
How you go win when you think you better than people
