Prime Minister Gaston Browne and Rawdon Turner

​

In a display of confidence, Prime Minister Gaston Browne has expressed his belief that Rawdon Turner, the newly elected Member of Parliament for St. Peter, possesses the potential to become the country’s next leader.

Turner, who recently secured an impressive 75% of the vote—the largest margin amongst sitting MPs—was addressed by Browne during a parliamentary session.

“You’re young enough and capable enough to become Prime Minister of this country,” Browne remarked, highlighting Turner’s significant electoral success. This encouragement serves not only as a personal endorsement but also as a call to action for Turner to consider the future of his political ambitions.

Turner was officially welcomed into the House of Representatives by the Speaker and fellow members earlier today, marking the beginning of his legislative journey.

 In his address, PM Browne emphasized the importance of prioritizing the needs of his constituents, stating that they have placed their full confidence in Turner.

As Turner steps into his new role, all eyes will be on how he leverages this support to impact his community and potentially the nation in the long run.

His fresh perspective and the backing from seasoned leadership like Browne could play a significant role as he navigates his responsibilities in parliament.
