PM Browne Pledges to Appoint More Young Senators in the New Year to Ensure Party Sustainability
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced plans to appoint additional young senators in early 2025 as part of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party’s (ABLP) ongoing effort to ensure leadership sustainability and youth empowerment.
Speaking on the “Browne and Browne Show,” Browne underscored the importance of preparing the party for future challenges and strengthening its appeal to younger voters.
Highlighting the party’s strategic shift toward youth leadership, Browne outlined plans to include individuals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s in key positions.
“This is how we ensure sustainability,” he said. “By the time we find ourselves in opposition—if that ever happens—we will have a cadre of seasoned and relatively young individuals ready to take on the challenge and win back the confidence of the people.”
The Prime Minister praised the contributions of current young leaders, including Michael Joseph, Lamin Newton, Maria Browne, and Daryll Matthew, pointing to their experience and dedication.
He stressed that the party is cultivating leaders who are not only competent but also committed to serving and empowering the people of Antigua and Barbuda.
Browne also acknowledged the role of senior party members who have stepped aside to make way for younger voices, crediting their cooperation in facilitating a smooth leadership transition.
He explained that voters in the last general election had sent a clear message, rejecting certain candidates and signaling the need for reform. “The people of Antigua and Barbuda have spoken. Let us respect their voice, reform, and move forward stronger,” Browne stated.
Browne expressed optimism about the party’s future, noting that a deliberate succession plan is already in place. He added that the ABLP is actively working to attract young talent into the Senate and other leadership roles, ensuring the party’s relevance and effectiveness in governance.
