Polls have closed in the St. Philip North by-election following a day of generally calm voting across the constituency.
Voting began at 6 a.m. with all seven polling stations opening on schedule, and election officials reported that turnout was steady at times throughout the day, though activity at some polling locations remained relatively slow.
The by-election was called following the resignation of longtime Member of Parliament Sir Robin Yearwood, ending a parliamentary career that spanned five decades. The two way race is between Alex Browne of the UPP and Randy Baltimore of the ABLP.
Both candidates expressed confidence ahead of the polls.
With voting now concluded, election officials are expected to begin counting ballots shortly as supporters of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party and the United Progressive Party await the outcome of the closely watched contest.
