ABLP leader says opposition will not out-promise his government
The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) leader Gaston Browne says his administration will not be out-promised on the campaign trail and has signalled a willingness to adopt workable proposals from political opponents.
Speaking on Pointe FM, Browne dismissed the prospect of rival parties gaining an advantage through campaign pledges, stating, “No opposition going to out-promise my government.”
He added that his administration remains open to implementing ideas put forward by others once they are practical and beneficial. “Any promise that… makes sense, my government will implement,” Browne said.
The comments come as political parties intensify campaigning ahead of the general election, with manifestos and policy proposals expected to feature prominently in the coming days.
Browne argued that his government has already demonstrated its ability to deliver on major initiatives, pointing to ongoing programmes in housing, infrastructure and social support.
He also criticised past proposals from the opposition, suggesting that some had been unrealistic or financially unsustainable, while maintaining that his administration would prioritise feasible policies regardless of their source.
The ABLP leader’s remarks signal a strategy aimed at countering campaign promises while reinforcing the government’s record, as voters weigh competing policy platforms in the lead-up to polling day.
