Turner Launches Campaign Blitz Ahead of By-Election in St Peter
The political landscape of St. Peter has come alive with a by-election just around the corner
The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party candidate, Rawdon Turner, kicked off his campaign in a dynamic manner.
This past weekend, he hosted a “Campaign Blitz,” traversing the streets and personally connecting with resident’s eager to share their thoughts and concerns.
Accompanied by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, Tourism Minister Charles Max Fernandez and MP for St. Paul, E.P. Chet Greene, Turner said his walk through the village was not just about rallying support; it was a heartfelt effort to understand the pulse of the community.
“I got an opportunity to listen to the voices of the people, their concerns and their needs” he told Antigua.news
As the by-election date, January 14th, approaches, the competition is heating up. Against him stands George Wenher of the United Progressive Party, all eyes are on this crucial contest following the passing of beloved MP Asot Michael.
The residents of St. Peter find themselves at the center of a pivotal moment, with their choice set to shape the future of their representation.
Turner said politics is not just about campaigns but also about the people and the community they serve.
