Browne and Baltimore nominated in St. Philip’s North by-election
United Progressive Party (UPP) candidate Alex Browne was formally nominated Wednesday to contest the St. Philip’s North by-election, joining Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate Randy Baltimore in the March 16 race.
Nomination Day proceedings were held at the Willikies Primary School, where both candidates arrived at the centre surrounded by supporters in strong shows of party backing.
Browne filed his nomination papers before being declared duly nominated under Electoral Commission guidelines.
Baltimore, a former senior customs officer selected by the ABLP as successor to longtime parliamentary representative Sir Robin Yearwood, was also officially nominated earlier in the day.
Candidates were required to submit nomination papers signed by a proposer, a seconder and eight additional electors registered in the constituency, along with a $500 EC deposit.
The by-election was triggered following Yearwood’s retirement after 50 consecutive years in Parliament.
Polling Day is set for March 16.

Why do you want your AI to make your articles to sound like the Associated Press?
All pictured in this story are constituents of Alex Browne.
He didn’t need the whole of Antigua there today.
The will be needed and better utilized on elections day.
So when ANR pictures each witness as he or she is signing to give the impression that he doesn’t have support, that’s unscrupulous journalism.
Then again, scrupulous and ALP cannot coexist in the same epistle.
LOSER. , LOSER. Alex you should never gave up your Senate job. Randy Baltimore will kick your butt in St. Phillips North. The BIG problem with UPP is the lack of Leader. JAMALE Pringle is unable to unite the party and caused the division in the UPP.
The Executives are Unable to respect the members request that JAMALE Pringle cannot lead the party and you Guys still continue ignore the cry of the members. This is atrocious.
My Family have changed from UPP and now supporting and campaigning with Randy Baltimore. UPP must be demolished and a new party with new young faces formed. Shameful.
Best of luck Alex. I just hope we do the right thing this time around. We cannot continue the mockery by electing Randy Baltimore. Time to move away from the old order and usher in The Dawn Of A New Day. We cannot miss this opportunity, we might never get another
