BREAKING: PM says general elections will be held within 90 days

Prime Minister Gaston Browne moments ago urged supporters of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party to get ready for general elections.

“Even though I said 90 days it could be before” Browne told listeners on Pointe FM.

He said he instructed candidates of the ABLP to use the next few weeks to go door to door in an effort to urge constituents to renew their voter ID cards.

“It is known that there will be a general election,” he said.

“I am saying now that there will be a general election within 90 days,” the ABLP leader added.

Yesterday, the ruling party announced Dr. Philmore Benjamin as its candidate for St. Mary’s North, completing its slate of candidates that also includes several young persons.

His announcement follows the March 16 by-election which gave his ABLP a commanding victory over the opposition United Progressive Party in St. Philip’s North.

Earlier on Pointe FM Browne, questioned the readiness of the main opposition UPP to lead a government given their highly publicized internal disagreements.

Antiguans and Barbuda last voted in a general election on January 18, 2023, an election that gave the Gaston Browne administration a nail-biting 3rd term in office.

More to come.
