Only Two Candidates on the Ballot at the End of Nomination Day in St. Peter By-Election

Two Candidates Officially Nominated for St. Peter By-Election

The St. Peter by-election, scheduled for January 14, 2025, will feature two officially nominated candidates after Nomination Day on December 31, 2024.

The election follows the passing of former MP Asot Michael and was initially expected to attract a broader slate of contenders.

Rawdon Turner (ABLP):
Representing the Antigua Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP), Rawdon Turner is a contractor and a sitting Senator. Turner’s campaign will likely focus on continued development and economic progress for St. Peter.

George Wehner (UPP):
George Wehner, representing the United Progressive Party (UPP), is a businessman and the party’s Mobilization Officer. Wehner’s campaign centers on transparency, accountability, and addressing the concerns of the constituency’s residents.

Nigel Bascus of the Missing Link Voice of the People and Owen “Go Green” George of the GO Green Party, who had previously expressed interest in contesting the seat, did not proceed with formal nominations.

Their absence narrows the field to a direct contest between the ABLP and UPP candidates.

The January 14 by-election will now be a two-way contest between the ABLP and UPP, with both parties vying to secure the critical St. Peter seat.

Voters in the constituency will ultimately decide who will represent their interests in Parliament.
