Harold Lovell, former leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), has urged residents of St Peter to repeat the political upset of January 2023 by rejecting the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) in the upcoming by-election. Speaking at a rally in Pares, Lovell reminded voters of their historic decision to break with tradition and vote for independent representation, calling on them to stand firm in their convictions.
“St Peter made history last year, showing the Labour Party that neglect, disrespect, and abuse would no longer be tolerated,” Lovell told supporters. “This by-election is an opportunity to reinforce that message.”
Lovell endorsed UPP candidate Captain George Wenner, describing him as a man of principle and character. He contrasted Wenner with the ABLP’s candidate, Rawdon Turner, accusing the latter of prioritizing personal gain over public service. “St Peter deserves a fighter, someone who will stand up for the people, not a representative who will bow to the Labour Party’s agenda,” Lovell said.
During his address, Lovell also criticized the economic policies of Prime Minister Gaston Browne’s administration, claiming they had burdened citizens with higher taxes and increased costs at the supermarket. “They are boasting about economic achievements, but at whose expense? The people of St Peter must send a clear message: ‘Take your hand out of our pockets,’” he said.
Lovell highlighted the importance of consistent and dedicated representation for St Peter, which he argued had been neglected by successive ABLP governments. “This constituency has been taken for granted for too long. St Peter needs someone who will advocate tirelessly for its residents,” he stated.
Urging voters to rally behind Wenner, Lovell reiterated the UPP’s commitment to putting the needs of the people first. “We need a leader who will not flinch in the face of challenges, who will serve selflessly and fight for better opportunities for this community,” he declared.
The by-election, scheduled for January 14, 2025, comes at a critical time for St Peter. With both major parties vying for the seat, Lovell’s speech underscored the stakes, emphasizing the need for voters to remain steadfast in their demand for change. “No retreat, no surrender. This is about standing firm for what is right,” Lovell concluded.

I think the points made here are important but I believe to win, focus should be on MP Asot treatment, as thst is what is in the mind of voters. You should add what economic and social advancement you will make but based on my analysis you need to stir up passion by talking about the horrific treatment of the candidate you seek to replace (UPP), while ABLP need to express the work that MP Asot was loved for doing, he did so mostly under ABLP, and that he was one of you, still is and you are remorseful of bad treatment and separation from MP Asot (ABLP).
This is the only effective strategy but it may be too late to be employed. UPP needs this strategy more than ABLP need theirs as mentioned here.
It is really passionate, hate, blame, anger, frustration, etcetera that get Antiguans to vote or not vote or switch votes.
Recommendations being made here came from careful and intense analysis of the social and behavioral data of Antigua.
Stay with Trudeau and help to mash up Canada!!! Antigua has had enough of Mr. Mashup

Is Harold Lovell a mad man?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He made the request for a “historic upset” to a crowd of 30 people (being generous) at yet another failed UPP mega rally!
This is insanity. The empty crowd infront of Lovell’s eyes tells him exactly what will happen January 14, yet he persists in his delusion!
The UPP Pringle-Puppet mind virus is a real thing! Call out the CBH sanitizers NOW!
Um…….er………who exactly was King Liyadd talking to????

@my way of helping…UPP can NEVER campaign on the treatment of the late MP Asot Michael because they (UPP) had no great love for him. UPP won the 2004 elections on the promise of jailing both the late former prime minister Lester Bird and Asot Michael for robbing the state. Guess you have never heard of IHI Caribe Arena Tapes or Linquiest Report. Or is it your personal gripe with ABLP and you just being an all out arsehole make you come here with your usual ramblings. Just know noatter who forms the government of the day nobody will deal with you because your attitude stinks like St. John’s city and you love to talk down and belittle people because you have a couple of degrees. Instead of worrying about a sure ABLP seat why don’t you work on that stank attitude you have.
Expect nothing constructive to come from

It’s a state of mind
UPP DONT EXPECT TO WIN WITH THAT TERRORIST UP ST.PETERS TURNER ALL THE WAY ON ELECTION DAY..WHENNER WHEN THAT DAY COMES YOU SHOULD RETIRE YOUR CAREER IS OVER. DONE…
@Idiot Blogger, you are truly as you call yourself, an idiot.
The strategy highlighted here is to show the public any perceived belief they have that ABLP and their PM Browne treated MP Asot wrong or in an abusive manner (if they believe such), they now have the power to punish ABLP and their leader, PM Browne, for such perceived actual wrongfully acts committed against their Hero, MP Asot, now attempted to be replaced by ABLP and their leader PM Browne.
The strategy, here, which is the strongest strategy that UPP has to win, in this specific constituency, is a strategy and not my personal opinion on which party is better.
But there are dunces and idiots who do not comprehend when someone is speaking scientifically as an advisor, instead of speaking about personal opinions. I professionally believe that these are the best strategies for each party idiot.
You have to know when to stop being an idiot tenman. No matter what you, and how much you all threaten to have me robbed and kill publicly on this medium, I will stop speaking professionally, and personally, until I want to.
@tenman
The most effective method in this case, is to express any actual or perceived wrongdoing committed by ABLP against their own, MP Asot. I do not think it requires an advance degree in social and behavioral science to know this is most effective during this mourning period of MP Asot’s death. This is the most impactful strategy for UPP. No matter what they said about him in the past. The worse is to show how horrible his own ABLP was to him recently, before his vicious homicide. That would touch more hearts/minds and impact voting than anything else UPP has to offer right now, in a by-election. This information is being shared for intellectual discussion only, not pertaining to my personal opinion of the incompetence of ABLP.
This is the best strategy to employ weeks ago until election day.
You are saying MP Asot did not do anything substantial for his constituency for these years under/with ABLP, you are literally saying ABLP is incompetent. It is why my strategy to say what he was doing that was obviously liked or loved by his constituency that they voted for him in all his forms would be the best strategy to use for ABLP to use, not for ABLP to say no progress happened undef MP Asot, he was with You ABLP.
I feel so sorry for Antigua and Barbuda.
@my way of helping…Mr I suggest that instead of writing multiple paragraphs of repeating yourself over and over you sit down and do some INTROSPECTION OF YOURSELF. You are so blinded by your arrogance and coky attitude you can’t see YOU are the problem. And FYI I am not LUB MAN TTENMAN. For a behavioral scientist you fall to see the reason why most Antiguans on here don’t give a damn about you and everyone says the same thing. Your attitude stinks and you think you are above everyone just because you have some kinda advance degree. Boss go check ypurself because you aint all that.
@Born & Bred Antiguan
You described Lovell to a tee 👌
@you said you are Not TTenman. But you are Tenman? Ha ha ha ha ha ha
