    So dey plan fuh kill he dead, dead dead before he even get een. Schoolchildren say dey plan fuh use de old tactics and some dey barre fran Gaston fuh keep out Lewis. Dey say de hatchet man ah wan ole army man and dat he hate Lewis lekka pison. Dey say Lewis buddies in Parliament nuh way round ya, and that Lovell hiding too, and Baldwin nar support he.

    Dis ah round 2 ah de same ting. Lewis, bway take yuh fut eena yuh han and run far fran dem before dey jive yuh crazy. Wicked set ah people dem be.

    Cuz yuh cyah hangle the sunshine Gastonites especially the one inna lipstick.

    • @ Hangle she

      Whatever floats your boat, you sound so imbecilic, lol.

      You are trying to sow discord when there is none. You poor minions, lol.

    • You are a true labourite trying to stir up trouble. You think people will believe you? Why don’t you people stay out of UPP business and think about instead how your country is being raped by your alp government. That is what you should study.

    • When is the ALP convention? There will be no such thing. Everything is pre-arrange like the verdict of 05/03/2024 in The High Court, between the People and the Teflon Don.

  2. Pringle has done well as an interim leader, but I think we need to move on and get ready for government.

  3. Is this what UPP come to, having 3 blind mice running for leadership? Well, well, well UPP gone, gone, gone.

      • @ Public

        Whatever floats the boat of you minions. Obvious you have nothing to say.

        Go fix the roads, the terrible hospital, ALL THE CRIME IN ANTIGUA, THE EXHORBITANT COST OF LIVING,THE HUGE ‘CRATER POT HOLES’, THE FILTHY CITY, THE STINKING GUTTERS. TEK TIME TO SORT THESETHINGS AND MORE OUT RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON THE PARTY THAT WON THE LAST GENERAL ELECTIONS.
        Had it not been for the stealing by Gaston in transferring voters in other constituencies the ABLP COULD NOT BE IN POWER, SO HOW COME THE UPP GONE?
        U MINIONS ARE SO DUMB AND CANNOT THINK FOR YOURSELVES….GASTON DOES THAT FOR Y’ALL, AS KUBLAI SAYS ”IF HE GIVE U SHIT TO NYAM, YALL JUST NYAM IT”…FOOLS

      • Yes I will agree. If he give us shit we will definitely accept it whole heartedly…. The reason being is that the shit will surely have value….. I hope you learn from this scenario…………. In the winter a bird froze and dropped from the air to the ground bcuz it was extremely cold. It was on the verge of dying….. Shortly after a cow passed and defecated on the frozen bird. Guess what? The shit from the cow warm the bird and revived it…. The bird began to enjoy life once again….. It was obvious that the ” SHIT ” had value to the bird. The same applies what is SHIT to you and have NO VALUE to others like me it becomes a treasure because 1. Unlike you I am not blind or dumb & (2) I know the value of shit.

        • Nice story @ Bluddy Bloke. So what you are really saying, is if you see Bird (or Browne) a load of s#%t will follow.

          ITS NOT OFTEN I AGREE WITH YOU 😁

  4. Pringle is a candidate for leader. He should be totally away from the process. Not even making statements to the press about the process.
    Pearl is a plant to split the Lewis votes. The leadership make rules about the process and they are ones breaking the rule and blaming Lewis, just like the last time. The army man and Giselle little poodle she put in as vice chairman going to the branches and telling them who they must vote for. According to their rules, that cannot be done.
    Everybody knows that Isaac want Pringle to win. The secretary doing whatever Lovell is doing. He is playing like he’s sitting on the fence. Balwin say how he support Lewis. Any body in the public hear him say so out loud? He’s too dangerous. Don’t mention the Chaku. All of them very dangerous.
    They are already stacking the decks against Lewis and if he doesn’t fight back, it will be the same thing all over again.
    Wonder if the 3 questions woman will be back to stuff the bag with the ballots.

    Dangerous set of people.

    • The 3 question woman will not be back in her previous capacity; she has done he assignment by exposing the ‘Drug Runner’ that you and your party clamored for, after you paraded him on state media to highlight his blunder.

    • The 3 question woman will not be back in her previous capacity; she has done he assignment by exposing the ‘Drug Runner’ that you and your party clamored for, after you paraded him on state media to highlight his blunder. It was your Boss who labeled him a Drug Runner. I’m wondering how he knows.

  5. Without a shadow of a doubt the most important leadership convention in the history of the UPP.

    I’m excited, but with some trepidation, due to the fact that the next leader will have to lead Antigua & Barbuda out of the economic suffering and wilderness caused after this woeful ABLP government.

    The Honourable Members of the UPP definitely have the talent, after purging themselves of the deserters who preferred Gaston’s 30 pieces of silver.

    Good luck to all these contenders:

    The Honourable Pearl Quinn-Williams

    The Honourable Richard Lewis

    The Honourable Jamale Pringle

    The Honourable Gisele Isaacs

    The Honourable Kelvin Shugy Simon

    The Honourable Jamale Pringle; and any other UPP contenders.

    THE FUTURE OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY IS NOW IN YOUR HANDS – IGNORE THE ABLP NAYSAYERS, THEIR TIME SOON DONE!

    HIP, HIP…

    • Look at the POOR quality of candidates. The most UNEDUCATED , DISGRACEFUL Opposition Party ( UPP ) in the WHOLE Caribbean. All these candidates don’t make one.

      • What proof do you have @ Sammy B, that the Honourable candidates are “UNEDUCATED”?

        Where’s your evidence?

        Please clarify with facts ..

  6. This is so sad for our country which desperately needs a strong second party. Everyone knows that Richard Lewis is the person with the intellect, experience and commitment. He is also very articulate and Giselle does not need to write his script. But due to the ambitions and power hungry nature of others, he has already lost. The powers that be in the UPP have already stacked the pack against poor Richard, again. Maybe like so many others who have left the UPP totally broken hearted and disheartened, he will finally learn his lesson and move on or over.

    • @ David Otto

      Ok David, if you think what you say matters then think again.

      Why don’t you guys call the long awaited ABLP convention? Why? Because the ABLP is run by a dictator who has no respect for God nor man……..you guys can try as hard as you can to sow discord within the UPP, BUT E NAR GO WORK……..All of you minions are just a bunch of turn coats and sucking off the blood of poor Antiguans.
      NONE OF YOU HAVE NO PRINCIPLE- ABSOLUTELY NONE. YOU GUYS DESERVE EACH OTHER.
      HOW WILL THE ELECTORATE TRUST PEOPLE LIKE LAMIN AND DWAYNE GEORGE, THESE TURN COATS?
      DO YOU REALISE THAT DWAYNE ONLY GOT 29 EXTRA VOTES IN THE BY-ELECTION???? ONLY HIS FAMILY MEMBERS SWITCH FROM UPP TO ABLP, SO NOT ONE EXTRA VOTE HE GOT.
      SAME THING WILL HAPPEN TO LAMIN.
      MA BELLY A BUN ME.

    • Mr. Otto, this is not the ALP. All UPP members have a right to run for leadership and make their case. I think you’re too harsh on Pringle. He is not “power hungry”. He didn’t ask to be leader of the opposition; he had it thrust upon him. He did well, but it’s time for the UPP to get ready for government.

      • Yes Mr Byam, my sentiments exactly. The UPP must prepare for governance, and it starts from now! 🤜🏽🤛🏽

  7. A leader needs to be a pitbull with sharp teeth ..Go in parliament and fight ” for the people ” you can’t be soft , your bark should be followed by a vicious bite ! Challenge the government, ask the difficult questions on behalf of the people and don’t back down until you get answers..stand behind the law and when they break it ask the court to speak .. All this talking ,talking in public them when in parliament yall quiet as a hoe in church !

  8. I would like to say: “I have no dog in this fight” But, I do for the leadership of the opposition will be a determining factor of what the future of Antigua and Barbuda looks like.

    MESSAGE TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE RUNNING.
    An airline LIAT (2020) is being stolen from right under the noses of Antigua and Barbuda.
    Even a 4th Form student can see if asked to look at the ownership structure.

    • @ INGRAM, please, please explain yourself nah. Throwing out pointless soundbites doesn’t mean a thing.

      Bwoi, the calibre of ABLP acolytes and Gastonites are amazing – no wonder ABLP has held onto power for 2-3 terms; and even longer (40-odd-years) under Birdism and Browneism. Mercy!!!

      WHAT A VERY LOW PEDAGOGIC BAR…

    • @ INGRAM

      Yes the party that won the last general election: only stolen by Gaston Brown as uttered out of his mouth on rum shop radio. POOR POOR ANTIGUA UNDER THE BURDEN OF THE ‘DOG’

      When last you bathe INGRAM?
      When last you shop?
      When last you breathe clean air?
      When last you drive on smooth roads?
      When last pot holes HAVEN’T DESTROYED YOUR SHOCKS?
      When last have you had a nutritional meal?
      When last you been to Mount St John? If not you then Troy?
      INGRAM YOU LABOURITES HAVE NO SHAME.
