During a recent interview conducted on the Observer Radio program “Knight@Night” on October 5, 2023, Mr. Kelvin Simon, the candidate representing the Unity Progressive Party (UPP), asserted a highly contentious and concerning allegation.
Mr. Simon’s claim posits that the electoral processes in Antigua and Barbuda are subject to manipulation and impending theft by the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP).
It is crucial to underscore that such assertions, characterized by their audacious nature, are evidently designed as a strategic maneuver within the overarching electoral campaign of the Unity Progressive Party and Mr. Kelvin Simon himself.
In response to these allegations, the ABLP wishes to emphatically dissociate itself from these imprudent statements, originating from a former member of the Antigua and Barbuda parliament.
Furthermore, we respectfully urge Mr. Simon and the UPP to extend a formal apology to the Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC), an entity entrusted with the solemn duty of ensuring the conduct of impartial and transparent electoral processes in our country.
The ABLP respectfully urges the ABEC to denounce the aforementioned imprudent allegations put forth by Mr. Simon, as they possess the capacity to jeopardize the integrity of their commendable electoral procedures.
It is crucial to emphasize that Mr. Simon’s extravagant claims overlook a significant detail: his own electoral victory on January 18th, 2023, an outcome that subsequently led to his resignation from parliament due to an illegal nomination.
This fact reveals a disconcerting determination to pursue electoral victory at any cost, manifesting as a narrow-minded fixation on deploying misinformation about our electoral system.
