Browne Says Some UPP Members in Antigua and Barbuda Preparing to Join Labour Party
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has claimed that internal divisions within the opposition United Progressive Party (UPP) are prompting some of its members to consider joining the governing Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP).
Speaking during his weekly appearance on the Browne and Browne show on Pointe FM, Browne said several individuals associated with the UPP have indicated they plan to align themselves with the Labour Party in the near future.
He said some of those individuals include former party executives and branch-level members who, according to him, have expressed concerns about the viability of the opposition party in its current form.
Browne also suggested that dissatisfaction within the opposition is contributing to the potential shift, adding that some members believe the party may need to rebuild its political brand.
He did not identify the individuals he claimed were preparing to leave the UPP.
The prime minister said the Labour Party remains open to welcoming supporters from across the political spectrum, adding that broader unity could benefit the country.
The United Progressive Party is the main opposition party in Antigua and Barbuda.

and is so they join is so the going get big position while the labor dogs remain barking at the wheel.
Was tempted to use Baldwin’s lament about having them surrounded. However, the fact is the UPP has been a sinking ship for far too long. Their situation endangers others. we need to do the humane thing and torpedo them
not the good “dame”
She is the glue that holds the UPP together.
Gaston Browne as his usual self, trying to muddy the waters of the opposition just before the St Phillip’s North by-election.
Is anybody really surprised by Browne anymore?
I don’t believe a word from him about UPP so-called defections; but let’s say he’s correct for once in he life. Then all the possible detectors only have to look at wha’ happen to Anthony ‘Judas’ Smith, and how the All Saints West electorate no longer trust him on whatever he says or do.
So if any UPP members are silly enough about thinking of jumping ship like ‘Pieces of Eight’ Smith, then they must look no further then how he’s now perceived as duplicitous in the eyes of the country as a whole.
Mind you, look out for more destabilising of the UPP by Browne and his cohorts incoming … 💯 percent guaranteed!
ABLP couldn’t win a fair fight or election if they tried – isn’t politricks nasty?
@tenman law enforcement should arrest you for making a public threat when you say “toroedo them.”
A “torpedo” is a missile just like a bomb or bullet which does serious bodily harm to individuals. As usual the ABLP rhetoric when they’re losing is to use threats of violence to cover their own crimes.
Would you want a Serian to torpedo your house because you live in their neighborhood?
Let’s hope you’re around when Alex Browne wins to clean up the shit from Gaston’s pull up since you’re his number one shit cleaner.
If this is true, Antiguans are a real joke.
@Arrest, you never know that Tenman is irreligious and ignorant, and has limited vocabulary that beggars belief! Mind you, its par the course for Gastonite supporters.
Mind you, who’s surprised at their disgusting behaviour, because didn’t Gaston Browne call Barbudans “deracinated imbeciles?”, and then go on to threaten to “thump” the late Asot Michael?
St Phillip’s North constituents please do the right thing on the 16th of March, and rescue the SOUL OF OUR COUNTRY…
