Primary in All Saints West Called Off
The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party has decided to not hold a primary to choose its candidate for the All-Saints West constituency seat.
E.P. Chet Greene, the chairman of the ABLP, confirmed this decision, which the party’s executive made during a recent meeting.
Lamin Newton and Registe Burton were supposed to participate in a primary this month, but due to an inconclusive poll, this plan was cancelled.
The current representative of the seat, Anthony Smith, resigned from the United Progressive Party and now serves as an independent candidate in parliament.
