Rawdon Turner of the Antigua Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) has won the St Peter by-election, following a decisive vote count that concluded late on January 14, 2025.
ABLP—-Rawdon Turner:—-1672, UPP—-George Wehner:—-570, REJECTED—-31
Turner’s victory secures the seat for the ruling party in a closely watched election that drew national attention.
Turner, a local architect and businessman, campaigned on a platform of community development, economic revitalization, and infrastructure modernization. His connection to the constituency and his vision for its future resonated with voters, leading to a clear victory over his opponent, George Wehner of the United Progressive Party (UPP).
The by-election was contested vigorously, with Wehner focusing on issues of accountability and infrastructure challenges. Despite his loss, Wehner commended his supporters for their dedication and promised to continue advocating for the constituency.
Turner’s victory solidifies the ABLP’s presence in the constituency and in parliament, which was left vacant following the tragic murder of Asot Michael in late 2024.
Political analysts view this win as a boost for the ruling party and a sign of voter confidence in its governance.
The election results also reaffirm the democratic process in Antigua and Barbuda, with high voter turnout reflecting the engagement and commitment of the electorate.

As Turner prepares to take his seat in Parliament, residents of St Peter look forward to the implementation of his campaign promises and a new chapter of leadership for the constituency.

Congratulations to him!
I knew that even though Whenner possessed the intellect that it is on a leaders coat tail one has to be elected on, and the same for turner he also got elected on Gaston coat tail, and I see the same in st Phillips north where leadership over shadows individualism, had it been different and not the haphazard push of Whenner into st Peter’s because upp don’t have any plans it would have been different culminating with a leadership change in upp, all the other UPP members are well articulate and batting above Pringles level, so the public don’t see or feel the impetus to coalesce around a nonentity as leader and potential prime minister, but on the other hand though Gaston has done some egregious things like the Barbuda lands he is established as the leader of the country, Alex would have maintain his strength if not sapped by a weak leader that trigger the Anthony Smith betrayal, I am just watching because both party operates on a Centristic political platform so there will be no change as far as white monopoly capital domination except a more moral character in office as the UPP tend to be. What I see right now, is that the citizens of this country has got to stop alienate themselves from power and benifit that this country offers due to party color politics, because the foreigners are benefitting largely, a lot of the government housing projects has foreigners getting housing before Antiguans, and the ALP has got to stop alienating it’s citizens, when they can put a Syrian in government contract in solid waste and public works and say the Antiguan don’t support you, from whence the syrians came for you to celebrate them as brothers,.they don’t mix their race or ideological beliefs, you see the Catholic church in antigua has to have a special church service on Thursdays for the syrian community, they don’t even want to be our spiritual brethren, and upp does the same empowering the syrians too as ALP does though the latter does it ten times more, it’s time after independence the black people of this Antigua and Barbuda be given the economic resources, both political party in antigua seem to like white supervision and validation especially ALP by giving lands to white people and syrians eating the country’s tax pie, it’s the more I understand what the late Tim Hector was writing about all the years now.
This is some sickening stuff. Living proof that Antigua people dont want anything better for themselves afterall. They should stop complaining and take everything they get from this currupt administration….horrible roads fixed only when its voting time…no water and frequent electricity outages just to name a few.
a GUNMAN on UPP ticket is living proof that the UPP has sold it’s soul for the life of a young woman and her unborn child, shot on Nevis street by UPP MP.
where is P.O.W.A and the UPP WOMEN’S FORUM TO CONDEMN HIS ACTIONS????
The ALP victory was very much expected.
Mr Turner has been given a mandate, and I hope he works hard to represent the people.
The people have REJECTED UPP!!!
REJECTED THE SNIPER!!!
Nobody told you to wake up your sleep, that’s was your decision. But to agree with you anyhow, this was no surprise to the general public. The win was already there, they just had to do their little charade for it to look good
Why wake me up with this nonesence? I expected the victory. No surprise there. Antigua newsroom the next time you decide to wake me up from my bed with a story let it be something unusual. This could have waited I told later.

Lmao. You too funny
Why really be concerned about who wins or not? In the long run Antigua is and will always be a smelly nasty dump that , caters to the rich who pay members of government under the table to sell out the stupid people that only care about carnival, free turkey and ham, and music shows that non talent Antiguans can’t perform in. Also stupid cricket matches. What a bunch of clowns.
You are the first clown God ever created. People have a right to vote who they want. I dont know why some of you people like to hit on foreigners when they contribute more to this country than many of you Antiguans who born here. Remember Antiguans all over the world.
