PM Browne Vows ‘Clean Sweep’ in Next Election
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has called on supporters of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) to mobilise across every constituency, declaring that the party must aim for a complete victory in the next general election to safeguard the nation’s future.
Speaking at the annual Labour Day rally on Monday, Browne said the ABLP remains “strong and united” and must be prepared to win all seats if elections are called at short notice.
“We must be in a position that if we call elections tomorrow, we win all of the seats. We want nothing less than a clean sweep,” he told the crowd.
The Prime Minister accused the opposition United Progressive Party (UPP) of posing a threat to national development, characterising its members as “vagabonds” and “destructive elements.”
“If we do not destroy the UPP in its present form, it will actually get stronger to destroy our country,” Browne said. “So understand that it is in your interest to come out in solidarity with the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party.”
He warned that the stakes were high, saying the upcoming election would determine whether the country continues on a path of progress or regresses under what he called an unfit opposition.
“There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth within the UPP because at the end of the day we’re going to beat them mercilessly—and we’re doing it for you, the people,” Browne said.
The Prime Minister urged party members to “guard your lines, join the battle, go into every constituency and mobilise now,” adding that the date of the election is “nigh.”

That’s not news.
We heard that leading up to the last elections.
What happened during the elections?
Although the result is based on the number of constituencies won you survived by a mere SIX votes.
All of your predictions have been too your detriment.
You called Serpent into the ring for a severe beating.
He demolished your strongest candidate. You may soundly defeat Alister the geriatric.
However when the final count is told you will be asking for a grater to wipe your face.
He always talks big before elections
Browne knows how to work a crowd, but I think people are getting tired of promises.
Browne is bold as ever—but i wonder if this will that be enough to carry him?
Some constituencies are already slipping
I don’t trust any politician who thinks they’ve already won.
Last time he also promised 17- 0, what a joker
The clean sweep should begin with him
All ABLP and UPP does do is agrue and talk down on each other and none if them not better and not doing nothing Antigua
Browne i dont want to join no battle.. just step down and i will be fine
A clean sweep? That’s ambitious—maybe a bit too ambitious. LOL
Did Antigua News Room no longer getting their Gaston fee? The Bots are showing some dissatisfaction.
