PM wants proof that UPP candidate is no longer U.S citizen

11

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has challenged United Progressive Party candidate Dr McChesney Emanuel to provide “irrefutable evidence” that he has revoked his U.S citizenship.

“From all indication, Mac Emanuel has not given up his (US) citizenship,” the Antigua Barbuda Labour Party told a rally in support of his Rural North candidate Charles “Max” Fernandez.

The prime minister suggested that Dr Emanuel has not revoked his US citizenship because “he knows that he’s going to lose and immediately after the elections he’s going back to the United States.”

Browne told supports following his party’s motorcade on Sunday night that “the constitution precludes him from being a candidate or at least becoming an elected officail.”

“So it means therefore that those in Rural North who are prepared to vote for Mac Emanuel, you’ll be wasting your vote because, at the end of the day, he cannot serve in the parlimanent,” the ABLP leader added.

The prime minister said the UPP candidate must bring strong evidence because “revocation is not simply by writing a letter to the United States Embassy in Barbados.”

 

Browne says Dr. Emanuel owes an explanation to the people of Antigua and Barbuda.

  1. How about you show us strong irrefutable proof that the 3 million euros were ‘returned ‘, and that is not the monies being spent to build labour New headquarters. Show us proof that Freeland paid back the monies. Show us proof that the senior cop who loves sexually harass young boys has been independently investigated. And last but not least why don’t you charge the vampire killer for the last murder, are you playing politics with crime now.?

    • Why don’t the PM investigate the can’t park the fences around the playing fields wadili waste power plant jelly bean side walks all those so called contracts who nearly collapse abi bank and the so called medical transcript course. Oh yeah cause if if did plenty singers would be in jail. 1735 done cramp. Why waste government money on pointless investigations just a waste of resources like that fruitless Linquest report.

  2. Harold Lovell, what a STATESMANSHIP WITH CLASS, SOMETHING YOU WILL NEVER HAVE MR PM YOU ARE A DISGRACE NOT ONLY TO A&B, BUT TO THE WHOLE WORLD, MR LOVELL A MAN THAT IS SO RESPECTFUL OF EVERYONE,MAYBE YOU NEEDF TO TAKE A PAGE OUTT OF HIS BOOK. OOPS DON’T FORGET HE GRADUATED FROM UNIVERSITY IN THE UK & WAS BORN WITH GLASS

  3. He is not going to revoke it cause then he would have nowhere to run after he loses. Mac is just like the majority of the UPP candidates some last minute pick up cause nobody wants to run with them. They only stay on the sidelines and give chat. Remeber there was a certain woman who said she was going to beat max and then bailed on them claiming she got a job offer.

    • And she has the NERVE to call herself a “PATRIOT” even on her license plate. She bailed on her country and her party. I would kick her ass to boot from my party. She just fulla noise. Hype up herself then take off running claiming that she got a job offer. I thought the best job offer for politicians was the opportunity to SERVE/REPRESENT THE PEOPLE. Should change her tagline to PATRIFART instead of patriot.

  4. The time Gaston tek a look proof from all other sort, you might as well give the nation an account for every dollar received and spent in regards to BARBUDA RELIEF FUND! One day! Just one day!

  5. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Saying a vote for Mac “wasting your vote”. They really worrying now, especially after that huge turn out at ARG yesterday with no International Acts! Go out and VOTE on Wednesday! Your VOTE matters/counts! Max is only now trying to fix the CG basketball courts the week of elections! Not good enough!

  6. They need to investigate the SON OF GASTON BROWN AND FIND OUT WHO HOUSE THAT IN FLORIDA AND WERE THE PM SON GET ALL THAT MONEY FROM TO OWN SO MUCH THING IN LIFE SO QUICK NOT ONLY HIM SON BUT PM BROWM NEED TO BE INVESTIGATE ALSO
