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.

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.
