Sir Robin’s Lump Not Cancerous…He’s in Better Shape Than Ever, says PM Browne

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has reaffirmed that Sir Robin Yearwood remains in good physical condition and can fulfill his responsibilities until the upcoming general elections.

Sir Robin, who holds the record for being the longest-serving member of Parliament, has been the subject of speculation regarding potential health complications that could potentially lead to a by-election.

However, Browne clarified that Sir Robin had not been diagnosed with any significant health issues that would require him to step down from office before his term expires.

Browne also revealed that Sir Robin underwent treatment for a non-critical ailment at a hospital abroad.

“I spoke to his daughter on Saturday morning. He is doing fine. He isn’t in the hospital. He was hospitalized briefly for a lump he had on his face. He has an abscess under it. It is not cancerous…He is still receiving some treatment, but he will be home next weekend…” he said

Browne said he expects that Sir Robin will be in better health when he returns home

“He doesn’t have any debilitating disease that will take him out in months or anything like that,” he added

Meanwhile, Gaston Browne, the leader of the Labour Party, expressed confidence in the party’s stronghold in the St. Phillip’s North seat despite the recent selection of Randy Baltimore as the party’s new caretaker.

Browne believes that the United Progressive Party’s candidate, Alex Browne, will not be able to win, even in a by-election.

Baltimore’s significant victory in the recent party vote further reinforces Browne’s optimism.

After running uncontested in St. Phillip’s North for the past 50 years, Sir Robin Yearwood will not be participating in the next general elections.

In the previous election, Yearwood had a narrow 94-vote margin of victory over Browne, putting his win in doubt.
