Bowen Declares ABLP Unprepared for St. Peter By-Election

United Progressive Party (UPP) Deputy Leader Sherfield Bowen has accused the Antigua Labour Party (ALP) of being unprepared for the sudden by-election in St. Peter, despite their attempts to catch the opposition off guard.

Speaking at a rally in the constituency last night, Bowen argued that the ALP’s strategy to rush the election has backfired, leaving them scrambling as the UPP rallies its forces.

“They thought we could not be ready,” Bowen said, “but it is they who find themselves unprepared and unwanted.”

He framed the ALP’s approach as a calculated move to exploit perceived disorganization within the UPP, but emphasized that his party has risen to the challenge, standing united and ready to fight for the constituency’s future.

Bowen accused the ALP of neglecting St. Peter and using the election as a means to maintain control rather than address the constituency’s long-standing issues.

He called on voters to seize the opportunity for change, describing the election as a chance to reject stagnation and demand development.

“The government does not care enough about you because they think they already have you,” Bowen said. “Show them that you are independent-minded persons who can think for yourselves.”

The rally also spotlighted the UPP’s candidate, George Wenner, whom Bowen described as a leader of integrity and dedication, contrasting him with the ALP’s candidate.

Bowen urged voters to prioritize their own development and reject what he called the ALP’s attempts to establish a “family dynasty” in government.
