The United Progressive Party has published a false statement on its official campaign website declaring that sitting Member of Parliament Sir Robin Yearwood died in office. Sir Robin Yearwood is alive.
The statement, visible at www.myupp.org under the St. Philip North constituency page, reads: “Robin Yearwood (ABLP) won this seat in 2023 but later died in office, triggering the March 16, 2026 by-election.” This claim is categorically false. Sir Robin Yearwood did not die. He did not vacate his seat due to death. The statement has no basis in fact.
The UPP website was built and populated using artificial intelligence tools. The false claim about Sir Robin Yearwood appears to be AI-generated content that was published without any human verification. This is consistent with a pattern of serious errors found throughout the site, including planning instructions left visible on the homepage, candidates listed in the wrong constituencies, a fabricated phone number in the party’s contact details, and broken links on pages marked “Electoral Compliance.”
Publishing a false report of a living person’s death is not a minor oversight. It causes direct harm to the individual named, to their family, and to the public’s right to accurate information during an election campaign. The statement must be removed immediately and the UPP must issue a full public apology to Sir Robin Yearwood.
Voters in Antigua and Barbuda are being asked to trust the UPP with the management of this country. A party that cannot verify basic facts about living members of parliament before publishing them on a national campaign platform is not prepared to manage the affairs of a nation. Attention to detail is not optional in government. It is the baseline.
The ABLP calls on the UPP to take the following actions without delay: remove the false statement from myupp.org, issue a public apology directly to Sir Robin Yearwood and his family, and provide an explanation to the people of Antigua and Barbuda of how this claim came to be published on an official party platform.

Desperstion for Power.
Desperation for Power
Sitting member????? Am I missing something here?
That’s a frigging lie by ABLP propaganda machinery
How could UPP say that, when even the blind could see Robin retired from active politics as a living man.
Someone is trying to be malicious and mischievous and trying to discredit the UPP on the eve of an election, just to give the other side an upper hand.
The people should demand an apology from him, because up to now mammy can’t bath and pappy can’t bath.
Where in this article did Mr. Yearwood ever said anything? These people are going to talk all 17 seats but seem so frustrated. I believe that Yearwood is convinced that he is indeed dead. You almost allowed him to die on the job.
Well! Well! Gaston desperate, because randy would never even think of such malicious fabrication because randy is not desperate for power, it is Gaston who want to save his skin at all cost, randy have not committed any crime like Gaston to want power so he can hide from the americans.
A dem dey kill he? Stroopes
Lol you guys are funny bad bad bad
Imagine logging onto a political party’s official website during an election campaign and discovering they’ve accidentally declared a living Member of Parliament dead. Not retired. Not defeated. Not reassigned. Dead. That’s not just misinformation that’s next-level negligence.

Hmmmm what you wish for might fall on you
So they calling for the man’s death then? Or they mean he died politically? Or is AI? LOL
That’s why the DISUnited UNProgressive NoParty, can’t win anything. They are beyond dead! Just a bunch of childish clowns walking around talking bout what they will do for the country and they can’t do for themselves
ANR seems to be taking this one personally. I was looking for where it says this is a letter sent in by a reader but not seeing it.
The dangers of AI especially when we take out the human element.
A simple and humble apologies would be in order and we can move along.
