Four Young Men Who Could Redefine Antigua and Barbuda’s Political Future
In every generation, a few young leaders emerge who seem destined to shape the political and social fabric of our nation. In Antigua and Barbuda today, four such names stand out: Chrysean Jarvis, Esquire Henry, Kerron McKenzie, and Shaquan O’Neil. Each has proven, through service, initiative, and national representation, that leadership is not limited by age but strengthened by vision and commitment.
The question, however, is not whether they have potential it is whether the time has come for them to transition from youthful advocacy to the formal political arena.
Collectively, these young men represent the next wave of leadership articulate, innovative, and deeply engaged in community and regional affairs. From the grassroots to the international stage, they have demonstrated an understanding of diplomacy, governance, and youth empowerment.
Their readiness lies not merely in their accomplishments, but in their ability to connect with people, inspire confidence, and present a fresh perspective on development and nation-building.
Their influence has already stretched beyond the local stage signaling that with proper mentorship, they could play a defining role in shaping public policy, social reform, and national representation.
In any forward-thinking democracy, grooming future leaders is a responsibility, not an option. These four have already shown that they possess the discipline and intellect to thrive within parliamentary, senatorial, or ambassadorial roles.
Whether as advisors to a minister, members of the Senate, or even as attachés in foreign missions, their talents could be strategically harnessed for national development. What they now need is structured guidance from sitting Members of Parliament, seasoned statesmen, or regional mentors to refine their political acumen and prepare them for the realities of governance.
If Antigua and Barbuda truly believes in intergenerational leadership, then these young men should not be admired from a distance but actively integrated into national decision-making.
They embody the vibrancy, intellect, and courage our political system urgently needs. Investing in their growth through mentorship, inclusion, and opportunity could mark the beginning of a new era: one where youth leadership is not a slogan but a living, breathing reality within our democratic framework.

This is great but what happened to the young women. If you check the registers of any of our education institutions you would see that our young girls, teenager girls , young adults women are head and shoulders with the male and in fact in the vast minority.
So are you saying that my brilliant nieces and granddaughters will not have a say in shaping our political landscape.
So YOU say!
I agree.
They have leadership skills and good potential. What about the young LADIES???
Lord have mercy, Honorable, Good, Decent citizen Faithful National #1 is still alive and nary a word about the rampant corruption at the Port, APUA and Public Works. Seems as though we might start referring to you as Unfaithful National #1, you are deaf dumb and blind when the corruption is within the ABLP, all your venom seems to be reserved for Harold Lovell. Hypocrite! Hope ANR does not censor me because I am the Faithful one, cares nothing about color
