Prime Minister Gaston Browne says he is seeking a young person in their 20s for Senate as part of succession planning push
Prime Minister Gaston Browne says he is looking to appoint a young person in their 20s to the Senate, outlining what he described as a broader effort to prepare the next generation of leadership in Antigua and Barbuda.
Speaking on the Browne and Browne Show, Browne said he is actively monitoring the political landscape for emerging talent, including individuals who could serve in the Upper House and on statutory boards.
“I’m hoping, for example, that I can find someone in their 20s… to put in the upper house as a senator,” Browne said.
He indicated that such appointments would be based on merit, noting that individuals will be assessed on their current contributions rather than past loyalty.
“I’m asking the youth to step up… let’s see what you’re made of,” he added.
Browne framed the initiative as part of a deliberate succession planning strategy within his administration and party, aimed at ensuring continuity in governance and building on past gains.
“There’s also a renaissance taking place within the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party itself, as we seek to attract new talent, younger talent, and to ensure leadership continuity,” he said.
He said the transition toward younger leadership is already underway, pointing to a reduction in the average age of candidates and a wider effort to include more young people in decision-making roles.
The Prime Minister argued that leadership development is critical to sustaining national progress, adding that the goal is to ensure that future leaders are equipped to continue advancing the country’s social and economic agenda.
Senate and board appointments are expected following the upcoming general election.

Nothing new under the sun,another vampire .. just this time (is young) God have mercy for this decadent work
Sob! I don’t want cruelty and wickedness to have a renaissance or rebirth, to renaissance to come back to tax me again and sell passport that we are kept out of visa to america and hospital run down is wicket, people please don’t let some a the wicket people that leave this world get the chance to have a renaissance or rebirth, not Hitler or king Leopold or idi Amin,
Gaston and ALP must not have a rebirth renaissance to continue making himself and his minister and family rich.
Vote him out so that all the common black people can get an opportunity in their lifetime, instead of the Chinese and syrians and white people alone getting everything along with the ALP politicians and family.
Vote UPP!
Don’t gift wrap your true intentions Gaston.
We have heard several promises from you before and when perfect opportunity arose for you to do good you swept then aside.
We heard that promise in a very matter involving the senate.
However you filled the senate positions with people you wanted on your slate.
No consideration was given to any young person
Just tell us that you want someone in the senate who you can program and twiddle around your little finger.
Tell us that you want a clone who will ask how high when you say jump and not querlstion why.
I am just looking and wondering how old is your son.
He may have been a teenager during the 2018 elections.
That would put him smack in the middle of your spoken words.
Are you seeing to have your monarchy in our parliament?
We know that you cannot be trusted.
However just spit out the truth.
Are you trying to impose your son on us to?
What’s interesting is that if you so desire it would happen in your government.
There is no one in your party to object.
None not dare raise their head.
Even if anyone objected that objection would be defeated.
You have surrounded yourself with UPP bottom of the barrel, troublemakers, unsanitized and sanitized, rotten elements that anything you say must go through.
I want you to do it though.
I want to see laboRATs walking around town with graters in their hands as kerchief.
Trump said he could shoot someone on the busiest highway in America and get away with it.
I want you to kick all laboRATs in their bottom on the intersection of High and Market Street and get away with it.
Them too chupit!!!!!!
Daryll has so many young persons behind him there is this young man who goes very hard for Daryl n team labour on facebook, also Michael Joseph has some potential young people in behind him as well.
Kerron McKenzie
Too fucking lie fu be wan big man. Hope the 100 million you claim will be used for road works was not used to pay back for the people them boat and your lawyer fees.
First of all gaston Browne is not the Prime Minister. What we need to do in the OECS is make laws which holds our politicians who aspire to be accountable before they are voted in office, while they are in office and after they are voted out o office.
On the inside- stop chat non-sence. He remains the PM unless a different government is sworn in. Cabinet is still in place. He has the option if the situation calls for it, to call back parliament. You may recall BS calling back parliament in 2009 due to the Stanford fiasco. We aleady have laws that hold our politcians accountable. The most important one’s are the laws which allow an election
Please consider Miss Patricia Singh for this position, she is very intelligent, educated and truly cares for the country and it’s people.Easily the best choice for these islands .
