St. Peter By-Election: Rivals Share Campaign Slogan
The St. Peter by-election has taken an unexpected turn, with two opposing candidates using the same campaign slogan.
George Wehner of the United Progressive Party (UPP) recently launched his bid under the slogan “Together with Wehner.” However, the same phrase is also being used by Rawdon Turner of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party, who employed it during the last general election.
The coincidence has sparked curiosity and debate among voters.

Turner was using Together with Turner since the last election.
You mean to tell us that not even a unique slogan the dunce Pringle Puppets can come up with?
You can’t make this stuff up!
and lyadd upp like to accuse others of copying them!!! So what you call what dem a do by TEEFING SLOGAN??
“The coincidence has sparked curiosity and debate among voters.” ~ ANR
Mr. Editor, this is not a coincidence. Call it what it is: plagiarism on the part of George Wehner and the UPP.
This article clearly indicates that Rawdon Turner, the ABLP’s candidate, used the phrase during the last General Election. Why then would the UPP want to use a phrase that another political candidate used in the past?
Clearly, this is plagiarism: intellectual theft of the highest order.
Someone needs to ask George Wehner why he was dismissed from the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force.
Is it true that he led an attempted mutiny against the former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Brig. Trevor A. Thomas? Is it true that Wenher went to Balwdin Spencer while he was Prime Minister and expressed a desire to have the CDS removed and Spencer refused?
Is it true that Baldwin Spencer as Prime Minister had to call CDS Brig. Thomas and alert him of the plot by Wehner and as a result Wehner and some misguided junior officers were dismissed from the Defence Force because of attempted mutiny? Perhaps the Browne fellow who is jamming Insane in a Boot Camp knows something about it as well?
By the way, mutiny is a crime under the Defence Act.
For those who do not know, George Wehner is not trustworthy and needs to be exposed for who he is.
Me done tell aryou day dis one nar go narmal
Did Rawdon Turner have a trademark for the phrase “together with” … No one owns these words, so all the candidates can use them if they choose to. The nonsense that the ALP lemmings harps on are laughable. Notice there are no comments from them on the article of increasing SS tax and retirement age — things they actually affects 🇦🇬ns; but trivial shite, they’re all over it. Just ridiculous!
@👁️ 👁️…. No one is saying anything about that because this has been known for YEARS. You must have been living under a rock for the last 10 years if you didn’t know this. Anyway, welcome from underneath the stone.
So Wehner doesn’t have a brain. Ok got it.
Get it right! Wehner’s slogan is TOGETHER WE RISE! Everything must be a lie for you folks.
Duncey bat, Pearl, UWI FIC has a space for you if you want it. It’s a pity you aren’t even half wise enough to recognize an opportunity that can uplift your intellect.
Pearl “FOOTS” Quinn, you are dumb as rocks!!! The plural of foot is “FOOTS”???? How u nah move to st. kitts yet??? go down there an enjoy fem crime rate nuh! Yanking shawn nicholas from the senate and replacing her with you was a PISS POOR DECISION, but guess you need the likkle money or something.
Don’t even bother with Pearl Quinn Williams. There is a George Wehner flyer posted here with the story that has on the phrase “Together with Wehner” big like Big Church on there and she has the heart to talk about lies.
Reading is really fundamental. She really should take the scholarship to UWI.

Was “Together With Turner” copywritten by Turner’s Campaign Committee or the ABLP?
Together With Whener” is not the same thing as “Together With Turner ,” similar but can be made to be interpreted from different viewpoints.
As per the norm, the rabid ABLP dogs will come out with the vicious and personal attacks on anyone who opposes ABLP’s policies and style of governing.
The coattail of Asot Michael which Rawdon Turner is desperately holding on to like a lifeline was so mired in filth (according to ABLP Campaign against Asot Michael), that the stench of Asot’s coat was like that of the Shit Cart which would dump the human waste, below Wash An’ Basin in Point. Now, all of a sudden, Asot’s Coat has become Joseph’s Coat of Many Colors and will cover and eliminate all of ABLP shenanigans.
Just so you know, INDEPENDENT thinking Nationals already know, the Nature of those in politics in Our Nation. They’re cut from the same Order of Hyram Abiff, ODD FELLAS and WHITE COLLAR THUGS/GANGSTERS.
What the People are hoping for is that, there will be a Few Good Women & Men, who’ll step from under the protective umbrella, of these GANGS of The Upper Echelons, turn states witness, come forward as WHISTLE BLOWERS, to expose the deep rooted shenanigans in the Parliament, Cabinet and Public sector.
Non of our politicians are thrustworthty. We can always find the “devil in the details” hidden in their actions!

@Ras Smood…. Errrmmmmmm…. Me see you jus’ talk some real kaka sometimes nah.
How ’bout you go running for the presidency of the USA and use the phrase, “Yes we can!”?
Political slogans are seldom, if ever, copywritten. However, they are associated with politicians who either originated or popularized them.
You were probably still in Antigua about 2002/2003 when Sir Lester Bird said that he aims to create “Gross National Happiness” and the UPP hounds screamed from high heavens that it was plagiarism because the phrase was coined by King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck.
So you jus’ move from yah wid you sanctimonious self!
ignore the OBEAH WUKKA dey. Satan pickney!
what a COPYCAT wannabe SNIPER!!!! George Weiner is out of ideas already and election day nuh reach yet.
@Wash An’ Basin…
😆😆😆 “sanctimonious;”great one, as my [words] is the sword, in my hands and not some book of indoctrination.
At least my kaka is not causing our Nation’s culture nor environs to look and smell like shit.
As, a rabid ABLP guard dog, you did not disappoint. Your first point of attack was sniffing the shit from my ass, to see what I consumed for brunch. You’re so predictable, that one don’t even have to bait a trap to haul you in.
You need to come up to par, stop being so #retro and #ohio and be more #facto.
Again. once the Nation get a FEW GOOD MEN and WOMEN, like the young Police Constable being hailed as a SHERO, do their jobs without fear or favor, then you’ll come to know, that my kinda SHIT is Some High Intensity Training which will wrap the likes of you up like a Ducuna in fig leaf.
As for political slogans, they’re
recyclable. Mine would not be “Yes We Can” in America, but MAGA – Make Antigua Great Again, by investigating, prosecuting and convicting those crooks #WHO’RE pimping the People and haunting the halls of the Parliament.
Now, go ahead! Morph into the high end toilet tissue used by ABLP and politicians to clean up their “kaka” in Antigua and Barbuda!
Go ahead show some cohones, instead of sucking on them and put your STRAWMAN NAME to your moniker!

TOGETHER WITH ‘…TURNER’ – …TOGETHER WITH WHENER
Either the ‘…SPIRIT OF ASOT’ join them ‘…TOGTHER,’ or the ‘…ELECTORATE’ put them ‘…ASUNDER.’
Indeed, both ‘…Candidates’ will always be:
(i) ‘…TOGETHER, In the same ‘…Electoral Constituency:
(ii) …TOGETHER- Wooing the electors: as they have been
(iii) …Making the same electoral promises, and hoping to win the contest.’
NOW:
Either ‘…TURNER’ will drop the hammer on ‘…WHENER’, or vice versa.
WHICHEVER:
Most certainly, ‘…One is going to sing: ‘…HALLELUJUAH, CHRIST IS THE ANSWER:’ and
Surely, one will sing: ‘…MURDAH-MURDAH, SINT. PETAH ON FIAH – BRING GOTE WAH-TAH’ (Vernacular).
AH HA! JUST AH BIT AH HUMAH.
BEST WISHES TO BOTH CANDIDATES.
