Dr. Philmore Benjamin Officially Resigns from UPP
After months of speculation Dr. Philmore Benjamin has officially parted ways with the United Progressive Party (UPP).
Antigua. News was the first to report on the rumors surrounding Benjamin’s potential departure, although he initially refuted those claims.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Dr. Benjamin submitted a formal resignation letter to the UPP’s Secretary, Shawn Nicholas, stating that his resignation would take effect immediately.
The letter, dated November 11th, provided no insight into his decision, leaving many to ponder his motivations.
This departure comes amid a tumultuous period for the UPP, which has been facing a series of high-profile resignations.
Notable figures such as Sean Bird and Dr. Edmond Mansoor have also stepped away from the party, adding to the growing concerns about the future stability and leadership of the party
