UPP Public Rally

The United Progressive Party (UPP) has announced an extraordinary virtual public rally scheduled for Tuesday, January 13, 2026, beginning at 7:30 p.m., focusing on recent developments surrounding U.S. visa bond requirements.

According to promotional material released by the opposition party, the discussion will examine issues ranging from what it describes as a “$15 million vehicle gate” controversy to the imposition of a US$15,000 visa bond. The event is being framed as a broader conversation on Antigua and Barbuda’s international standing.

The UPP says the rally will also address concerns about governance and foreign relations under the administration of Prime Minister Gaston Browne, arguing that current policies have negatively affected the country’s global image.

The virtual event will be streamed live on the party’s online platforms, including its Progressive Radio channel and the “MyUPP” Facebook page, allowing supporters and members of the public to participate remotely.

The United Progressive Party is the country’s main opposition and has been using online forums and virtual meetings to engage the public on national issues ahead of upcoming political activities.
