The campaign for the March 16 by-election in St. Philip’s North has grown increasingly combative, with both the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) and the United Progressive Party (UPP), along with their respective candidates, trading sharp barbs in the final stretch.
The ABLP, backing its candidate Randy Baltimore, posted images of a small yellow building on social media with the caption: “Leadership starts at home. If the branch is struggling, how is the constituency supposed to thrive?” The post further questioned Alex Browne’s leadership, stating: “If Alex Browne can’t manage his branch office, how he go manage one whole constituency?” In a subsequent post, the party added: “Sometimes the building tells the story.”
Browne and his supporters rejected the claim, saying the building depicted is a privately owned property in Seatons that was used more than two decades ago by former UPP candidate Francis “Frankie” Nunes Jr., who has since died. They insist Browne has no connection to the structure and that his campaign operations are based in Willikies.
George Wehner, posting in support of Browne, accused the ABLP of attempting to mislead voters by linking the UPP candidate to an abandoned property. He said electors in St. Philip’s North would not be deceived.
On the campaign trail, Browne’s camp has sought to turn the focus back to change in the constituency.
At a recent rally in Willikies, a speaker told supporters, “The time for change is now,” adding, “This time, we’re voting Alex Browne.” The rally concluded with chants of “Alex is next,” as supporters pledged to “reject Baltimore.”
The ABLP has been campaigning under hashtags including #VoteBaltimore and #SafeAndSecure, while the UPP has rallied support around #VoteAlexBrowne and #PeopleFirst.
With less than two weeks before voters head to the polls on March 16, both parties and their candidates appear to be sharpening their attacks as the closely watched contest enters its final phase.

How come Baltimore lips look so red on his billboard photo than in this picture? Was it due to an overdose of the cool aid before the billboard picture was taken?
why is George “HOUSE RENT” Wehner inserting himself in St. Phillips North?
allow Alex to take the spotlight please
But robin never have no office, that place randy has salvage from been derelict that goat and dog use to sleep in is the Antigua trade and labor union building, should randy stop looking freebs and rent his own building for his office will never happen because ALP is just going use him like Anthony smith to hold power.
I don’t hear randy explaining to the st Phillips north constituents about the USA visa termination and prohibition, simply put the latest them a Tek way are visa because of Gaston brown.
Who the hell will vote for TATA Alex Browne. Alex your belly is getting BIG. Go to the GYM. I saw Alex bought a bottle of sweet drink on Their small business pull-up. What a shame.
Randy is the man with the plan. Vote Randy Baltimore.
I am asking, no pleading with my fellow Constituents to forget the rhetoric and let common prevail. We have had 50 years of NOTHINGNESS from Robin and ABLP, believe me BALTIMORE isn’t going to be any better, he would be worst. Gaston and ABLP ah Advantage Tekkers. We got to do right for our future. LET’S GET RID OF THEM
RANDY is the man with the plan. Vote Randy 16th March 2026.
Why would the Lawless Leader be inserting himself and spearheading ieverything that the respective ALP candidate should be controlling? When you merit your token you don’t behave like thugs, your contributions should speak for you.
@smh
What is wrong with paying house rent at least he is paying. This is the type of idiots that support ABLP. Are you suggesting the thousands paying rent are lesser mortals. Most of them might be contributing more to this country than you
RALLYING CALL #8
Fellow critical thinkers, please read the comment from @queen St Phillip’s North, and you’ll realise why the ABLP have been in governance for so so long.
@queen went off topic and was talking about “big bellies” and “going to the gym”. Huh!!!
Look, I know that the uneducated far outnumber the educated globally, but my goodness gracious me, it seems that the ABLP has cornered the market in embracing the totally untutored. Mercy!
Anyway, to the other well meaning constituents of St Phillip’s North, the retaking of the”SOUL OF OUR COUNTRY” will be in your hands on the 16th of March.
50 years of neglect and dominance of the Bird-Browne dynasty must come to end at some point.
