Prime Minister Gaston Browne pointed to the growing role of women in national leadership as he addressed supporters at the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party’s manifesto launch, signaling support for greater female participation in politics ahead of the April 30 general election.
During his address, Browne referenced women as part of his administration’s forward-looking agenda, linking their participation to broader national development and governance.
He also singled out female candidates within his party’s slate, including Kiz Johnson and Maria Browne, as examples of women stepping into leadership roles as the party prepares for the polls.
The Prime Minister framed women’s involvement as part of a wider push toward inclusive governance, positioning their presence as reflective of a modern and evolving political landscape in Antigua and Barbuda.
While Browne did not outline specific policies related to gender representation in that portion of his speech, his remarks underscored a commitment to expanding opportunities for women within the political system.
The comments formed part of a broader manifesto presentation in which Browne highlighted issues including economic growth, infrastructure development, public safety and social programmes, as the ABLP seeks a renewed mandate.
With campaigning intensifying in the final days before the general election, the inclusion of female candidates and references to women’s leadership are expected to feature as part of the party’s outreach to voters.
