Michael Joseph says he is ready from day one to transform Rural West, promises more frequent town halls
Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate for St. John’s Rural West Michael Joseph says he is prepared to begin work immediately if elected, pledging to transform St. John’s Rural West and introduce regular town hall meetings to keep residents directly involved in decision-making.
Speaking at a campaign event in Rural West on Thursday night, Joseph told supporters he understands the constituency’s challenges because he is part of the community.
“Because I am you, and you are me,” he said. “I walk these streets and I understand the challenges that we face in St. John’s Rural West. I understand what we need in Rural West.”
Joseph said he has already spent the past two years working within the constituency, focusing on key areas of development and support for residents, particularly in St. John’s Hill.
“I’ve spent the last two years in this constituency working to benefit the people… working to make sure that we invest in the areas that are critical,” he said, adding that his efforts would not stop after the election.
Looking ahead to election day, Joseph said his approach would be driven by the daily needs of constituents.
“Come April 30th, when you make your decision, I will get up every day and the first thing I will look and say, ‘What does the people of Rural West need today?’ And I will get up, I will go, and I’ll fight for it,” he said.
A central part of his plan, he noted, is to establish consistent engagement with residents through town hall meetings.
“I intend to make sure that we have regular town hall meetings in this constituency because you need to be a part of what happens,” Joseph said. “You need to tell me, as your representative, what needs to be done and the decisions that we need to fight for.”
Joseph acknowledged that significant work lies ahead but maintained that he is ready to take on the responsibility.
“There is a lot of work to do… I am ready,” he said.
Voters in St. John’s Rural West are expected to go to the polls on April 30 to choose their next parliamentary representative.

How can u be ready when I have never seen him they came pass our house went up the hill
Looking ahead……
What prevented looking since months or years ago? Are you telling the poor and forgotten people of Grays Farm that the change you envisage is possible only if you win even if it is your government in office????
You are ready from day one to transformation Grays Farm.
Transform it from what to what?
If Grays Farm is in need if such urgent transformation, who is to be blamed for it getting to the state where such urgent transformation is required?
Which government has been in office over the past 12 years?
Did the community become so ruined over night?
I do not believe that.
So if urgent attention is need it is an indictment dixt.ent on the government which you are so desperately seeking to be a part if.
Yet no one can say that they have ever heard you advocating on behalf of the community.
It tells me that your interest is not in serving.
You are much more interested in dipping your hand in the cookie jar.
The people will not be fooled.
Their needs have been and is being adequately publicized by their present parliamentary representative, Honorable Richard S Lewis.
It is the government which yiu are a part of which is fighting the people of St Johns Rural West.
So get off you high, deceptive, disengenious and hypocritical horse.
The people of every constituency need to loudly and unanimously reject the Antigua Labour Party……
