Showdown Set for St. Phillip’s North ABLP Primary
The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) has ratified July 4th as the date for a highly anticipated primary in the constituency of St. Phillip’s North. Four candidates are vying for the nomination: Randy Baltimore, Telly Cornelius, Oswald Thomas, and Robin Yearwood Jr.
Party insiders suggest that the primary battle will mainly be between community activist Randy Baltimore and Robin Yearwood Jr., the son of the incumbent. Baltimore has gained substantial support through his grassroots efforts and community involvement.
Meanwhile, Yearwood Jr., who recently returned to Antigua to enter the political fray, carries the legacy of his father, a longstanding figure in the constituency.
As the primary date approaches, the tension is building among supporters and party members, with both frontrunners working diligently to secure their positions.
This primary is expected to be a pivotal moment for the ABLP in St. Phillip’s North, setting the stage for the next general elections.
