The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party has officially nominated Rawdon Turner to contest the upcoming by-election in St. Peter.

This marks Turner’s second attempt at the seat in just over two years. Previously, he ran against the late Asot Michael, who won on an independent ticket.

Michael was brutally killed in November, leaving the seat vacant.

During Turner’s nomination, several party members were present, including Prime Minister Gaston Browne and his wife, Tourism Minister Charles Fernandez, Education Minister Daryll Mathew, and other parliamentarians.

His close friends and family were also in attendance.
