Browne Claims UPP Chairman Predicting Election Loss, Signals Resignation
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has alleged that the chairman of the United Progressive Party, D Gisele Isaac, privately believes the party will lose the upcoming general election and plans to step down afterward.
Speaking on Pointe FM, Browne said the opposition is not positioned to win the April 30 polls, arguing that the party is unprepared and lagging behind its rivals.
“I think they themselves recognize that they can’t win, because they did not prepare themselves to win,” Browne said.
He claimed that Isaac had confided in close associates that the UPP faces a significant defeat at the polls and is unlikely to secure more than a handful of seats.
“She said that… they’ll be lucky if they win no more than three seats,” Browne said, adding that her assessment extended to the possibility of the party losing all of its seats.
According to Browne, Isaac also indicated that she would resign from her position as chairman following the election loss.
“He said… immediately after the elections, after the UPP would have lost, that she will resign,” Browne told listeners, attributing the remarks to information relayed to him by a third party.
Browne acknowledged that Isaac may publicly deny the claims but insisted that his account is accurate, emphasizing what he described as his record of reliability.
“I expect her to come and say what I say is not true… but the people… trust me to talk the truth,” he said.
The prime minister further characterized the opposition as increasingly desperate in the final days of the campaign, suggesting that the party would escalate its promises to voters despite questions about their feasibility.
“There’s desperation taking place within that party. They’re going to promise everything,” Browne said, adding that many of the proposals would be “not doable.”
His remarks come as campaigning intensifies ahead of the general election, with both major parties outlining competing visions on economic policy, taxation and cost-of-living relief.

I just love when Gaston constantly gravitate to his narcissistic empleomania attitude, because when someone is so boastful and braggadocios, people hate that and will be ready to cut you down to size and show you are not god, in the vicissitudes of time the people will let Gaston realize that power is like ice in the sun 🌞 and that it will eventually leave you, Lester bird sob on the radio one morning that now he was voted out as prime minister that he don’t see no one to have tea with him in the mornings, Gaston you going create a jouvert jam bachannal when you lose power, you only making the people hate your attitude as the master over them more obnoxious. You will go Gaston! You will go Gaston! Greater than you went, Constantine and Zeus and even Jesus.
D. Gisele Isaac will be Antiguas second female Governor General so be prepared Gaston Browne.
I think by now all Antiguans and Barbudans know Gaston Browne to be the biggest liar as a politician probably in all of the Caribbean. The depths this fellow will go to just to retain power. He also anticipates Giselle is going to respond so he is getting ahead of her to try and control the narrative. CHARLATANISM at its WORST
Anybody more than GASTON IS AFRAID OF LOSING POWER ……look at ALL THE TRANSACTIONAL VOTING IN ANTIGUA BUYING VOTES NOW IF YOU STOOD ON YOUR “GOODWORKS” you wouldn’t have to buy votes …. Look at how ur plunging monies into things you and ur cabinet should have been doing.
Everyone see right thru laba this is what laba has reduced itself too.
9 UPP defectors on your ticket what does that say about you and laba?
Everyone is getting tings positions just to sing laba praise .
Even if she resigned YOUR NOT HOING TO BE BETTER FOR IT. Without your transactional voting can you WIN or your cabinet?
This arrogant narcissistic and out of touch Prime Minister is still so focused on the opposition than resolving rising crimes and the cost of living in Antigua.
He knows he’s got the majority of the country under his demonic spell (just like the MAGA followers of Trump). Sadly, some of us can see the direction the country is heading with:
Antiguan entrepreneurs not being on a level playing in startup businesses (as Harold Lovell recently pointed out); police relying more and more on the public, rather than actual police investigations; you’ll see more of our judiciary delaying more high profile court case; delays in salaries, overtime and pensions will return once Browne is re-elected; and anyone seeking decent housing (unless they bow down to the ABLP) will again be wanting.
Gaston Browne needs to be taken down a political peg or two, but uncritical thinking Antiguans haven’t got the balls to demand a better leader, or vote him out of office.
As I mentioned before, I have a plan B in place if Browne wins once more; and I’m looking forward to moving to a country with a better road infrastructures, a regular water supply, a justice system that works in accordance to protecting its citizens, and a police force that tackles rising crime rates.
I give it to the master of deflection and distraction Gaston Browne, he’s done an amazing job of hoodwinking the masses.
I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEW PASTURES
Dear God this is too much for us.
Deliver us from evil..
In Jesus name amen!
Protect us from this devious, devilish, evil empire….
