Trevor Walker has formally launched his election campaign, reaffirming his commitment to protecting the island’s rights, heritage and autonomy while urging residents to back the Barbuda People’s Movement at the polls.

In a statement shared this week, Walker described his candidacy as rooted in “trust” and “service,” pointing to what he called a longstanding record of standing with the people of Barbuda during challenging times.

“As I formally launch this campaign, I renew my heartfelt commitment to the constituents of Barbuda — a people whose strength, resilience, and unity have always defined this island’s character,” Walker said.

He added that his tenure has been guided by accountability and advocacy, particularly on issues affecting land rights and community decision-making.

“I have stood alongside the Barbudan community through its most difficult moments. My record reflects a consistent dedication to accountability, to protecting Barbudan rights, and to ensuring that the island’s people remain at the centre of every decision made on their behalf,” he said.

Walker also drew a contrast with unnamed political opponents, stating that his leadership has remained consistent despite pressures.

“While others have compromised their integrity for personal gain, my unwavering commitment has helped preserve the rights, heritage, and livelihoods that generations of Barbudans have worked to build,” he said.

With election day approaching, Walker called on voters to support what he described as stable and independent representation in Parliament.

“As election day draws near, I call upon every constituent to cast a vote that reflects those same values — one that safeguards Barbuda’s cultural legacy, secures a strong and independent voice in Parliament, and places trust in leadership that has never wavered,” he said.

He urged residents to vote for the Barbuda People’s Movement, describing it as “a party that stands, unequivocally, for the people of Barbuda.”
