Senator Kiz Johnson Among Four Candidates to Face Off in ABLP St. Philip’s South Primary

The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) is gearing up for a competitive primary election in the St. Philip’s South constituency, as four contenders prepare to battle for the party’s nomination ahead of the next general election.

Among those vying for the spot is Senator Kiz Johnson, a marketing specialist and university lecturer. Johnson, who has been active in youth and community initiatives, is seen as a rising voice within the Labour movement.

Also returning to the political front is Lennox Weston, the former Member of Parliament for St. Philip’s South and a veteran figure in the ABLP. Weston, who previously served as Minister of Works, is seeking to reclaim the seat he lost in the last general election.

Joining the race are entrepreneurs Adrian Richardson and Malcom Charles, both of whom bring fresh perspectives to the contest.

Richardson is known for his business ventures and community outreach. He is also known for offering scholarships and employment opportunities. Charles has been an advocate for digital innovation and youth engagement.

The ABLP’s internal election is expected to take place on December 04th, 2025, with party delegates from across the constituency set to cast their votes.

Although the next general election is constitutionally due in 2028, speculation continues to mount that Prime Minister Gaston Browne could call elections earlier — heightening the stakes for the upcoming primary.

Party insiders describe the St. Philip’s South race as one to watch, as the outcome could shape the Labour Party’s strategy heading into what many expect to be an increasingly competitive national campaign.

    • The ABLP has a fight on its hands for the next election. Do you seriously think gentle Kizzy ready? She should become Weston’s campaign Manager, work with him and once he is elected under study him. Then when he leaves succeed him and take ovet. That’s what I call political succession planning! The smart approach!
