Antigua PM Browne calls on ministers to up the ante in this ‘election year’
Prime Minister Gaston Browne once again hinted that he might call a snap election in Antigua and Barbuda. He told government members to be prepared to defend their track record.
"This year is, in essence, an election year, and we have to up the ante. Ministers, senators, all of us, we should be scurrying the entire political landscape, looking at the various issues and responding to these issues and do so robustly," Browne said on his weekly radio program.
The prime minister said it was important that his cabinet members respond to keep their base active in the face of "lies" and "deceit" coming from their detractors.
When an election day is called, Browne said his party would take all of the 17 seats in the House of Representatives.
Browne's Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) holds 15 seats in the Lower House.
The prime minister said it was important for Antiguans and Barbudians to look at the track record of the ABLP when compared to the United Progressive Party and Barbuda People's Movement.
