11

Mrs. Pearl Quinn-Williams will be sworn in as a senator during a ceremony at Government House on Monday, November 25, 2024, at 11 a.m. The event will be presided over by Sir Clare Roberts, the Governor-General’s Deputy.

Quinn-Williams has been selected by Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle to succeed Shawn Nicholas in the Upper House.

Senator Nicholas, who announced her resignation during the Senate sitting on Tuesday, November 19, will officially step down today Friday, November 22, after an 11-year tenure.

Quinn-Williams, who previously served as a UPP caretaker, has been recognized by Pringle for her dedication and commitment.

“Sincere appreciation for the professionalism, diligence, good citizenship, and party loyalty you have demonstrated as a caretaker,” he said, urging her to continue striving for excellence in her new role.

The United Progressive Party (UPP) emphasized that Nicholas’s departure is not a resignation from the party but a transition to focus on her role as General-Secretary.

The UPP Leadership, Executive, and Membership extended their congratulations to Quinn-Williams on her appointment and expressed heartfelt gratitude to Nicholas for her exceptional contributions to the Senate and the nation.

  1. Absolutely fantastic news, and thoroughly deserved. The Honourable Pearl Quinn-Williams has gone under the radar, but has never been afraid to voice her strong political opinions.

    I’ve always admired strong Antiguan women, whereas some misogynistic Antiguan men do not. Their loss …

    Many congratulations, and well deserved madam.

    The UPP is in good hands.

    🟨🟦🟨🟦🟨🟦 Stronger Than Ever ✊🏾

  3. Pearl is not a people’s person. This is the furthest she will get and she will likely make the canvassing for a tenure that guarantees a pension. At 35 I have to work a cool 25 years minimum to guarantee such.

  6. That is Pearl’s payback for supporting Pringle at the convention even though she used to say like many others in the party that he is a dunce. Enjoy your payday girl.

  7. Really now all jokes aside there is absolutely no young ambitious woman in UPP under the age of 40 years old that could be appointed to the senate. Just moving from one ole fowl to da next ole fowl and btw what happen to the 10 new candidates that suppose to be revealed in October????

  8. RED TILL ME DEAD, I wonder about your level of education you are such a hater with people like you this country will not make any progress. I hope you do not have children

  9. See that’s the problem with u UPP supporters y’all always wanna attack people for not singing from y’all song sheet. What does my education level (btw I’m a collage graduate with my own business) have to do with the fact that y’all crumbling party can’t even find a young ambitious woman under the age of 40 years old to be appointed senator. Instead y’all replace one ole fowl over 50 years old pushing 60 years old for another ole fowl in the same age bracket. But u have time to study my education level and if I have kids y’all are really a set if jokers. No wonder y’all party is such a laughing stock🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  10. RED TILL ME DEAD, the reasons why people query your so-called education is because your comments come over as sexist, ageist and mostly childish

    Don’t take offence RED, but your vocabulary seems very limited (you can’t be an Antiguan). If you want to gain respect, why not try to increase your lexis like Brixtonian 😉

  11. And u need to drink ya water and mind ya damn business. I don’t tag or @ none of y’all but y’all can’t see my comments and pass. I am a born and raised ANTIGUAN ah ya,ma navel string bury. None of u can run me nor bully me off of here!!!! Now tell me why can’t ya party find a ypung ambitious woman under the age of 40 years old to serve in the senate. Why replace one ole fowl for a next ole fowl. What happened to the 25% youth representative in the senate answer that OLE FOWL!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    Come for me I got time today😜
