LISTEN: Prime Minister Gaston Browne Suggests Senate Position for Labour Queen Pageant Winner
Prime Minister Gaston Browne addressed the potential for greater youth representation in Parliament through the Labour Queen Pageant. While he refrained from making any specific commitments, Browne suggested that the winner of the pageant, once qualified, could be appointed to serve in the Senate.
Browne expressed his hopes that this initiative would help attract more young female talent to the political arena.
He highlighted the fact that many pageant participants are not only accomplished in their beauty but also possess significant educational backgrounds, making them suitable candidates for public service.
The Prime Minister’s comments reflect a broader commitment to fostering inclusivity and diversity within the political landscape of Antigua and Barbuda.
