The resignation of All Saints West MP Anthony Smith Jr from the United Progressive Party (UPP) has sparked concerns about its impact on young voters’ faith in the political system.
Jamale Pringle, the UPP’s Political Leader and Leader of the Opposition, voiced his concerns following Smith’s resignation and his subsequent inclusion in the Gaston Browne Cabinet.
In an Observer Radio interview, Pringle highlighted the disillusionment of over 2,000 supporters, particularly young voters, who feel betrayed by Smith’s decision.
He noted the emotional distress within the UPP’s All Saints West branch, mentioning a father’s disappointment after encouraging his daughter to vote for the first time.

Pringle underscored that Smith’s supporters aimed to reject the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party and incumbent Michael Browne.
He expressed frustration over Smith’s lack of communication before switching to become an independent candidate.
Smith resigned from the UPP last week, citing leadership issues, and was sworn in as a government minister hours later.
