UPP Regroups and Prepares for Future Elections, Says Deputy Leader Bowen
The United Progressive Party (UPP) is intensifying its efforts to strengthen its position for upcoming elections, with Deputy Political Leader Sherfield Bowen announcing that the party is actively regrouping and preparing for potential by-elections. Speaking on a weekend radio interview, Bowen outlined the party’s readiness strategy and progress on finalizing its slate of candidates for the next general election.
“We are getting ourselves together and making sure we’re in a state of readiness for any other election,” Bowen stated. He noted that the party anticipates the possibility of additional by-elections in the near future and is taking proactive steps to ensure its preparedness.
Bowen also revealed that the selection process for candidates is nearing completion. “The branches have made their selections, and the next step is to finalize approvals through the party’s General Council,” he explained. Once this internal process is concluded, the UPP plans to officially unveil its candidates to the public during a formal presentation event.
The announcement comes in the wake of the recent St. Peter by-election, where the UPP faced a setback. Bowen, however, underscored the importance of looking ahead and maintaining focus on the party’s broader objectives.
In addition to electoral readiness, Bowen reaffirmed the UPP’s commitment to addressing pressing national issues, noting that the party meets regularly to discuss and develop policy positions. “We are continuously engaging in leadership discussions to debate the issues and formulate our stance,” he said.
As the UPP gears up for future electoral contests, Bowen emphasized the need for robust community engagement and the importance of offering a compelling vision for Antigua and Barbuda’s development. The party’s next steps, including the candidate presentation event, are expected to solidify its strategy as it works toward reclaiming political ground.
