Anthony Smith, who resigned from the United Progressive Party (UPP) on Monday, will be sworn in as the country’s agriculture minister tomorrow, replacing E.P. Chet Green.
There are unconfirmed reports that Smith might also handle responsibilities for the Blue Economy.
The swearing-in ceremony will take place at The Government House on Tuesday morning.
Smith’s resignation letter, handed to the UPP only hours ago, was highly critical of the party, citing misaligned goals and visions.
Earlier today, Antigua.news reported Smith’s departure from the UPP.
On January 18, Smith won a decisive victory as the UPP’s candidate, unseating the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party’s Michael Browne.
