Former Leader of the United Progressive Party in Antigua and Barbuda, Harold Lovell

REAL NEWS: Harold Lovell, former political leader of the United Progressive
Party (UPP), is calling on Prime Minister Gaston Browne to name the
date for the St. Mary’s South by-election and stop wasting time.

Speaking at the Party’s rally in Bolans on Thursday night, July 6,
Lovell said that, based on information the UPP has received, the
Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission  (ABEC) is ready to
stage that poll.

Therefore, he says, there is nothing holding the prime minister back
from announcing a date.

About 30 days have passed since former MP Kelvin “Shugy” Simon
tendered his resignation from the House of Representatives on June 7.

And, according to the Constitution of Antigua and Barbuda, a by-
election must be held within 120 days.
Accordingly, Lovell says, the clock began to run from June 8.

Lovell believes that PM Browne is afraid to call the by-election
because the results will be a referendum on him, his party, and his
administration.

Meanwhile, Lovell says, the people are anxious for the election date.
They wish to have Simon back in Parliament, so he can continue
executing his plans for the constituency.

  1. You are absolutely correct sir in what you are saying about the Prime Minister’s delays and obfuscation.

    Gaston Browne has boxed himself Into a corner after the Honourable Kelvin Shuggy Simon’s brilliant RESIGNATION move.

    However, whenever Gaston Browne goes quiet, he’s hatching some sort of NEFARIOUS plan to the DETRIMENT of the tax-paying electorate.

    He’s really hurting now, because he was truly out maneuvered; but the danger now to the country – as a whole – is that the PM is going exact some sort of revenge to not only hurt Shuggy and the UPP, but also have a detrimental effect on the constituents of St Mary’s South as well.

    IT’S LIKE ANTIGUANS HAVE A DAMN PICKNEY RUNNING THE COUNTRY …

    • … Can’t the ABLP find a better leader for their party?

      Why does this man have such a STRONG mesmerising hold over them?

  2. If Shuggy increases his margin of victory over Marshall by any significant number, just know that that is the same in every constituency and the country as a whole.

  3. Please. He has 120 days in which to call the elections. Even if he wants to wait until the last day of the 120 days, it’s his right. Don’t hurry hence the PM because he did not ask or tell Kelvin Simon to resign so aryou haffu wait.

  4. Why is dis 🤡 still pretend dat He important? Him nah min “resign” after he umpteenth ass-whooping at de polls?? IMF ROMANTIC RHYTHMS WADADLI POWER CAN’T ABST HOTEL RIPOFF ABIB COLLAPSER BANKING-SECTOR COLLAPSER ANTI-UWI FIVE ISLANDS CAMPUS BAICO COLLAPSER ETC ETC

      @ Smh

      ‘ass-whooping’ you FOOL, when you very well KNOW THAT Y’ALL stole the election from the people?
      YOUR ‘god’ GASTON admitted transferring voters to various constituencies to enable his colleagues to win their seat. DON’T U GUYS HAVE NO SHAME.
      I WILL REPEAT THAT A JUDGEMENT DAY WILL COME AND ALL OUR SINS WILL BE REVEALED.
      UPP NOR HAROLD LOST THE January 18 2022 polls – U GUYS STOLE THE ELECTION, so DO NOT GO WASHING YOUR HALATOSIS BREATH ON HAROLD U USELESS IDIOT!

        • @ ABS

          Until the day we die, and as uttered out of the mouth of your PM who admitted transferring voters between constituencies to aid his fellow colleagues to win their seat.

          R U EVIL AND WICKED RED PEOPLE CANNOT BELIEVE IT RIGHT? UP TO THE TIME E CUM OUT A GASTON MOUTH. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE SHEER EMBARASSMENT THAT YOU GUYS GO THROUGH.

  5. I would rather an honest, dunce leader than one who 'creatively' steals and defraud the country of it's resources and lands I would rather an honest, dunce leader than one who 'creatively' steals and defraud the country of it's resources and lands

    @ Nars

    You mean like the force that will exterminate SAMANTHA AGAIN by MORE THAN 200 VOTES, or like the FORCE of the PINEAPPLE PLANTS THAT SHE IS PLANTING TO IMPRESS THE PEOPLE OF ST MARY’S SOUTH?
    E NAR GA WORK, ROUND SOUTH PEOPLE CANNOT BE BOUGHT FOR A FEW PIECES OF SILVER.
    GASTON TRIED IT ONCE IN URLINGS JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION, BUT THE FORCE OF THE PEOPLE REPELLED HIM, LOL, LARD

  7. I think that Gaston has a weakness towards Shuggy but I don’t know who’s going to get there first. Just the way Maria looked at him says that she’s interested too. Bramble isn’t going to walk away though.

  8. @SMH.

    And the people spoke up about lovell and move him from office, the same way the people have spoken and moved Samantha from office..

    like it or not, the people has spoken..just move on nah, lovell have, do you see him fighting for a seat he hasn’t won?
