Antigua: Governing party to launch political campaign – says PM
The governing Antigua Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) is scheduled to launch its political campaign on December 19.
The announcement was made on Saturday by Prime Minister Gaston Brown as he delivered a speech to mark VC Bird Day that was observed on Saturday.
VC Bird Day is held to honour the nation’s first Prime Minister and ABLP founder, Sir Vere Cornwall Bird.
Browne, while hinting at a possible reveal of election dates, disclosed that his party’s plans to begin its pre-election campaign activities.
“We are literally a few months away from the constitutionally due date of general elections. I know many of you are getting anxious for me to call elections, and you can assure elections are imminent, but we must commence our campaign in earnest,” he said.
Browne also stated that the party plans to enact an intense campaign, believing it to be what Sir Vere would have wanted.
The announcement will likely ramp up the political activities of all three major parties as the impending elections.
A general election is constitutionally due by March 2023.
