Prime Minister Gaston Browne has accused the opposition United Progressive Party of presenting a false image of unity ahead of the general election.
Speaking on Pointe FM’s Browne and Browne Show, Browne said the party is internally divided despite public appearances.
“They are totally disunited but pretending as though they have a team,” Browne said.
He also suggested there is a lack of coordination within the opposition, with individuals acting independently rather than as a cohesive group.

Dear Editor,
I write to you today as a concerned citizen of Antigua, deeply troubled by the current state of our nation. While we are told that politics is at play, we see a country falling asleep on its own rules and laws.
Just recently, a contract was awarded for bus stops with glass installations—only for vandals to destroy them, and even solar lights to be stolen. There were no trash cans, no surveillance—no one was put in place to manage them. Similarly, a slew of roads were built but now deteriorate due to poor engineering, especially around drainage. These aren’t isolated incidents; they reflect a broader pattern where people are no longer put first.
Our Prime Minister, who calls himself “Gassy Dread,” divides his time between governance and a reggae persona—yet his hands are full of scandals. From a road project now crumbling to a $2 million car scandal—signed off by his wife—no real accountability follows. Meanwhile, a young girl was murdered, and still no arrests. Guns are circulating; sentences are reduced; and the youth of this country pay the price. We have a CIP program that once drew investment, but now bars people from the U.S., and our healthcare is in shambles—MRI machines sit idle because we don’t even have a monthly maintenance contract.
We are talking about facts—the cost of living, rising gas prices—while the so-called progress is a front for corruption. We need a leader who doesn’t stoop to insults on the radio but works with class, with respect, and with a clear vision. It’s time we demand the truth. It’s time we make Antigua great again—for all of us.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen
@MAKE ANTIGUA GREAT AGAIN. Get fucked UPP stooge. Try being original instead of recycling Trump’s political slogan but then again, when was Antigua ever great? During colonial rule? Fuck off.
Loyalty and Hypocrisy: A Call for True Leadership in Antigua
In a recent address, the Prime Minister lauded Adrian Williams for his loyalty, yet conveniently forgot his own disloyalty to local car dealers he once cast aside. After that public betrayal, he parades in a luxury Benz, as if a flashy purchase could repair broken trust. He ridicules others on public platforms, donning dark shades to hide his true intentions, but no charm can mask this narcissism.
When he questions Adrian Williams’ loyalty to the UPP, he leaves out the likes of Anthony Smith, Lamin Newton, and Edmund Mansoor—longtime UPP stalwarts. If he scrutinizes loyalty, he must hold himself to the same standard. Antigua demands a leader who is accountable, not one who lectures from a pedestal. It’s not enough to speak eloquently; true leadership demands integrity in both word and action. The truth is simple: our roots must be healthy if we ever hope to grow.
Pringle yuh teeth dem yellow a rass, a wah us some de dead darg money and fu go dentist nuh.
Pringle look like he could of cast in the movie Blood Diamond LOL…..Some serious blows awaits him and the UPP just around the corner….Sit tight guys 😀
@ proud Antiguan .. your comment says a lot about your party and my point .. moving right along …MAKE PEOPLE STOP HATE AGAIN..
Gaston should be so glad there is disunity in the UPP that should make things easy for him but he sounds concerned. Probably he isn’t as confident as he wants us to believe. We can see through your vulnerability Gaston. Yah transparent too bad
Ok ABLP, we know your playbook by now of attacking the country’s only viable opposition. In fact (and I never thought I’d say this) I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s more than likely because of ABLP’S MASS propaganda and brainwashing of the majority, it looks like Gaston Browne’s distasteful tactics will win the next General Election.
I for one do not care either way now, because I will ensure that it will not effect me, my family or my business’ future.
Sadly, I’ve recognised that while the country’s eyes have been focused on the so-called division within the UPP, the citizens have taken their eyes off of Gaston Browne’s many misgivings.
Why stay in a volatile country where gun crimes are on the rise; home invasions are ever increasing; and our police and medical services are underfunded, as well as a lack of financial transparency in government – and this government is showing no signs of changing any of the above.
And the current focus in Antigua at present is on Harold Lovell and Jamal Pringle???
WE DESERVE EVERYTHING COMING OUR WAY
Harold Lovell and JAMALE Pringle look very Sad. That so called laugh is SICKENING. They hate each other. UPP is FINISHED / DONE.
They both look like They need nourishment. Very sad.
Is them ALP politicians afraid of Gaston, just like how asot started to expose Gaston as having no money until he won the election! So too will Gaston expose his ALP comrade.
@ CALL ME
You are correct. Harold Lovell and JAMALE Pringle look MAL NOURISHED. Both look like MONGOOSE. How can UPP enter General Election with the following.
JAMALE PRINGLE 15 percent in the polls.
HAOLD LOVELL. 5 Percent in the polls.
Also with persons like..
MALAKA PARKER ( AI MALAKA PARKER) I saw at the Public Market on Saturday, I could not believe my eyes. In person MALAKA PARKER is UGLY.
ADRIAN WILLIAMS ( BOX HAND MAN. )
DOLSO. ( NOT A TRUE MEMBER ) Just heard a clip with Him CUSSING UPP.
FRANZ DEFREITAS ( He needs to repent ) We know the story with him in the church in New York. Keep Him away from the OFFERINGS / COLLECTORS.
We shall expose BANKRUPTCIES,
UPP should place ANN McDONALD ( FULL OF SELF ) Think She is soooo cute on the team.
Losing Team

@MAKE ANTIGUA GREAT AGAIN isn’t it hypocritical to say “MAKE PEOPLE STOP HATE AGAIN” while using the slogan of the man currently the face of the government which is doing and encouraging hate acts on anyone thats not white, straight or a man? Not only that they have been exporting hate and destructive policies worldwide?
You’re reping it like if it’s 2023 before majority of his voter base regret voting with him, before he had the worst approval rating in America, before they saw his policies in action which like tax cut for the rich but firing and dripping a lot of federal workers, ICE agents arresting people that aren’t white mostly Latin and native Americans calling them illegal whether they were citizens or in the process of updating their time and killed at least 6 people openly.
So check the badge you wear.
