Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle has declared that he can do a better job than Prime Minister Gaston Browne, calling for a new era of integrity, accountability, and lawful governance in Antigua and Barbuda.
Speaking at the Vehicle Gate town hall meeting, Pringle said the nation deserves leadership that respects the rule of law and manages public finances transparently. His remarks came amid growing controversy over the alleged multimillion-dollar government vehicle scandal and what he described as systemic financial mismanagement by the Browne administration.
“We deserve better, and I can do better,” Pringle told the audience to loud applause, drawing a clear contrast between his leadership approach and that of the current government. “This battle is not for Jamale Pringle and the candidates of the United Progressive Party only. This is a battle for the life and future of Antigua and Barbuda,” he said, urging citizens to demand a higher standard of public service.
The opposition leader accused the government of spending hundreds of millions of dollars without the approval of Parliament, in breach of the Finance and Administration Act. He said such actions not only undermine fiscal discipline but also represent a direct violation of the country’s laws.
Pringle argued that accountability must not depend on political convenience, adding that the administration’s pattern of unchecked spending and weak oversight has eroded public confidence. “We must have leaders who are willing to act in the best interest of the people, not themselves,” he said. “The time has come for us to rebuild this country on the foundation of honesty, fairness, and transparency.”
He also urged unity across party lines, warning that the issue at hand transcends politics. “This is not about red or blue,” he said. “It’s about right and wrong. It’s about defending our democracy and protecting the generations to come.”
The Vehicle Gate forum brought together legal experts, former public servants, and opposition figures to dissect alleged irregularities in the procurement of government vehicles. Pringle’s address served as a rallying call for change — and a declaration that he is ready to lead that change.
“If we continue down this path,” he said, “we risk losing the moral compass that has guided our nation. Antigua and Barbuda deserves better leadership — and I intend to provide it.”

LMAO this is a real joke from a man with an inflated ego of himself. If indeed you would do a better job than PM Gaston, then there would have been no need for you the UPP to beg ah loser like Lovell to come back from retirement, for a 3rd time, to get rid of Pringle as Leader of UPP. Ah dat kinda facts you fu study Pringle. If you don’t believe, just ask Mr. Knight, or Shugy and Serpent in private.
Pringle, dem counting down the days to the next convention to throw out you and Giselle from leadership lol

Mr Pringle I am sure that one day you may be able to do better than Gaston, but today is not the day.
You are on your way and have grown leaps and bounds, but today is not the day. Keep on keeping on and with experience and a good head on your shoulders, you will get there.
He has NOT grown no damn “leaps and bounds”!!!! STOP IT!!!! Let the emperor know that he has no clothes on!!
Learn to read and spell. You are a PUPPET. ASS PRINGLE.
Antigua people already see and know your abilities Mr. Pringle.
Much to be desired.
The Labourats have just gotten a reprieve from the pressures that have them consumed for a couple of weeks now and it good for their mentality but I’ve never known Mr. Pringle to be embroiled in matters of impropriety and scandal, one after the next. I would rather have a Pringle for a leader any day than an untrustworthy person for a fraction of a second.
At least Pringle never shot anybody.
@ Rovi u would rather have a Pilot that has no idea of how to fly a plane over a Pilot that doesn’t fly by the proper rules…Okedoke…..U tap pan dey and crash…
you have to excuse “Rovi”
Rovi nah he head on the UPP CAN’T PARK AT EAST BUS STATION. real hard lick mess up he brain cells
Well said 👏
The ONE AND ONLY DULY ELECTED LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION IS THE HON. LARS JAMALE PRINGLE.
Young, energetic, grassroots, patriotic Leader with the interest of Antigua and Barbuda at heart

Any damn person in politics can do better than GB. , and I’m sure Pringle is not aspiring to be such.
So as far as caring about the people and the nation, and not just your own pocket, Pringle can do way better than GB in those departments, hands down.
All GB has become in office,,is the scourge of Antigua. That’s it!!!
If he is not pm yet and can get away with 1mil and get involved in yet another scandal under the nose of a pm that can sniff man out like a dog when no one is watching the rat with the cheese imagine how much he will get away with. I am sorry but I will never give you a chance to get away with more. Antigua at heart. More like he has no heart at all.
This is laughable at best. He truly cannot believe what he is saying. This level of ignorance is scary to the point where I shudder to think how anyone can utter such careless words without consequence.
Lmao
Poor Little Black Boy. Think he could one day be the Prime Minister of this Great Twin Islands State. Who put such a big ambition in his picky head. Gizelle ah you.
