All Saints West MP Anthony Smith Apologizes to UPP Supporters Following Resignation
All Saints West MP Anthony Smith has apologized to United Progressive Party (UPP) supporters who were hurt following his resignation from the party.
“The United Progressive Party I joined 4 years ago is not the same UPP today,” Smith stated during a parliamentary session dedicated to “Personal Explanations.”
“I mean no disrespect to their supporters because you have good members within the UPP.”
Smith addressed the falsehoods being spread about him, saying, “The lies that are being spread in the public about me is not a true definition of my character. When you don’t know a man’s story, you should not tell it.”

He acknowledged the impact of his departure, saying, “I understand my departure from the United Progressive Party would have hurt a few persons.
And when I was contemplating making this decision, it was not about the backlash or ridicule I would get. But what made me wonder was the hurt I would place on some persons I was able to build and form a bond with.
But I say to those persons, Mr. Speaker, that I sincerely apologize, but I had to take the best decision that was in the best interest of the people of All Saints West and Antigua and Barbuda.”
Smith also condemned the opposition’s attempts to malign his character, stating, “It does not give reason for members of the opposition to bring me down and assassinate my character.
It is wrong. I am the same genuine, caring, honest Anthony Smith that served the UPP. Honest integrity and trustworthiness are some of the hallmarks I build myself on, and I will continue to be who I am.”
His explanation was marked by applause from members of the house and those in the audience.
Opposition MP’s walked out of the House as Smith rose to speak only to return after his explanation.
