Former UPP executive Desmond Charles has endorsed Prime Minister Gaston Browne, saying leadership should be the key issue in the upcoming general election.
Speaking to Antigua.news, Charles—who says he is not aligned with any party—urged voters to look beyond party loyalty and consider who has the experience to lead during increasingly complex times.
While noting he maintains a good relationship with UPP leader Jamale Pringle, Charles said he does not believe Pringle is ready to serve as prime minister.
He framed his position as rooted in national interest, stressing that voters should prioritise what is best for Antigua and Barbuda over partisan ties.

Desmond Charles had a falling out with with UPP and as he says is not aligned with any Party. Who was born with experience absolutely no one, experience is acquired by being In a situation over time. With all of Gaston’s experience what we get is incessant corruption. High time we give inexperience a chance and clamp down on corruption. Desmond and all of Antigua might finslly experience THE RENAISSANCE
Gaston: desperation for power have me paying off all sort a people to say good things about me, I wonder who I can pay with the people tax money to say my fart smell sweet?
Desmond, you are an intelligent man.
You know how politics works.
You have been alligned to one political party or another for a very long time.
I am sure that you know parliament doesn’t recognize party leader.
What am I saying?
Ask Cutie and Robin Yearwood and this very same Gaston Browne.
Have you forgotten the famous, “I will not stab you in the back My Brother.”
Neither of them was.party leader.
However one had to be opposition leader in parliament.
The same applies on the governing side.
The leader in parliament does not have to be the politicial leader.
Hence your endorsement of Pringle is hurt.
It would have been better if only you said to the person who asked for your opinion that you have a toothache.
Pringle could win his seat overwhelmingly.
The other members of the party who have won their seats do not have to recognize him as the Prime Minister.
I am sure should that happen he would not be disappointed.
DO NOT BURN DOWN THE BRIDGE AFTER YOU HAVE CROSSED IT.
You know why.
Gaston has a yacht.
He will be laughing should that happen.
GASTON, that is NO endorsement.
So everyone who has an opinion is an endorsement?
No.
You know thats not true.
You are very deceitful.
You news portal is making you appear even more desperate as the days go by.
A DROWNING MAN WILL CLUTCH AT A STRAW.
Under who’s leadership antiguans having immigration problems with the US,Canada and England? How social security cannot pay retirees they monthly monies? Some people waiting over a year and haven’t received a cent. All the nepotism and corruption is under who’s leadership? I can go on and on. Our attorney general haven’t traveled to the US ,England or Canada for years. Have anyone stop to ask why? Stop the fear mongering. ABLP is corrupt, cultish party.

Another one is bought
Now all the Useless party supporters mad with the gentleman for speaking truth to power. Shine the light on all dem cockroaches. Dat Bun bad…
Now, you all are bashing him for his observation. He is obviously not afraid.
Desmond Charles has experienced the inner workings of the UPP. He’s has seen enough to know how to make an objective judgement. The corruption and nepotism rhetoric has run its course. People are tired of hearing the same crap without proof. The US has imposed visa bonds and bans on 74 countries. Let’s stop dumbing down our people by throwing hateful shade on a man who is a visionary.
The UPP is only pretending to be unified in the last three weeks. No one cares. Let the voters decide.
Allowing an inexperience person to represent your country on the global platform is not the right thing to do. Who would ever want to lend or donate millions of dollars to an inexperience person? Use common sense please.
Endorsement from Desmond who???
Another UPP turncoat!
ABLP you’d better continue the development of the country and follow through with your promises to give the workers their outstanding wages/salaries/stipends if by some miracle you win the General Election.
Hardworking Antiguans already know this re-election playbook of JAM today and HARD KNOCKS tomorrow.
Again, endorsement from who again???
Aru chupit inna this Country I swear. The same Labour people that a cry nah have no water for weeeeekkkkkkkkkksssssssssss,the same Labour people a bawl bout increased wages and them back pay which some of you get and others are yet to recieve,the same Labour people a bawl red is bread,the same Labour people that have mortgage that them till cant move inna for over 3 years. A chupit aru chupit or blind aru blind. Aru directly love sufferation at what a advantage oh my goodness. I can go on and on but i know Alp not getting my X this time around. The Alp is at its desperation .
Antigua is a real FAKE place. For years Antiguans argue they can’t get work because people hiring always asking about EXPERIENCE and you can only get experience on the job, yet the same people are telling you Jamale doesn’t have experience. Just how the hell can he get it if he is not given a chance. What surprises me is ANR publish this foolishness but when you critique Gsston lots of time you are censored. When are we going to grow up in this country
