Prime Minister Gaston Browne said he is allowing the opposition United Progressive Party (UPP) time to prepare ahead of general elections, stating that a more organised opponent would ultimately strengthen the political process.
Speaking on the Browne and Browne programme, Browne indicated that his administration is moving toward elections but is not rushing the timeline, noting that the opposition is being given space to get itself ready.
“We’re giving UPP a little information so they can start to prepare themselves,” Browne said.
He added that he wants the party to be properly organised ahead of the contest.
“I want you all to organise yourselves,” he said, before noting, “I’m giving them a little time.”
The Prime Minister suggested that a more structured opposition would benefit governance overall, arguing that stronger political competition helps keep his administration focused.
“That will help to keep us on our toes too,” Browne said.
At the same time, he criticised the current state of the UPP, describing the party as unstable and divided, with internal conflicts undermining its effectiveness.
Browne’s remarks came as he confirmed that general elections are expected within a 90-day window, with the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party advancing its own preparations, including finalising candidates and internal leadership positions.
The comments highlight a dual approach by the Prime Minister — pressing forward with election readiness while signalling that the opposition still has a window to regroup before voters return to the polls.

not even “time” can help them. Not with Mr. Mash Up in the mix. His sole purpose is to BADPLAY, BADMIND AND UNDERMINE anyone who stands in the way of his little Cinderella dream of becoming PM

It is a sad situation. The opposition can’t decide whether they want a political moron to lead them into a political battle and to represent the country abroad. And the ruling party full of corruption and greed and ignorance especially in the base.
Gaston read the room right and knows how to apply the filthy lucre enticements. Kendra has decided that he wants his share and he wants it now. Kendra, yo bway. You reach late. Too much ah dem over dey before you. Not much dey like before to share up.
Benjie, lazy ass Benjie believes he can go into ALP and continue with his poor performance like in UPP. Look at Molwyn. He look happy to you? He knows he’s old but he knows he is better than you. But Gaston knows right now you will do anything to please him.
Anybody knows Benjie was the treasurer in the UPP and never work one day as treasurer. Was too busy adding up sky miles and per diem as sports official. Nobody in the branch remember him asking them to pay their dues. All he did was criticize Lovell and the party. I hope he tries the same moves in Gaston party. I will be buying a whole bag of popcorn for the fallout.
Talking bout Lovell, yuh nuh tired feeling sorry for nearga and dem tun round bite yuh? You couldn’t see dem nuh love yuh, just yuh money?
And yuh have teletubby Joan calling you all kinda name and you just tek it quiet? So wha yuh ah try fuh say? She right?
Yo bway, you haffu get hard. Stap de sweetness and get hard. Cyah have that blimp insulting you and you just smiling sweet. None ah dem treating you wid any respect. Chu, man.
