Prime Minister Gaston Browne says a new political poll suggests the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) is poised to make significant gains in the next general election, with several constituencies currently held by the United Progressive Party (UPP) projected to shift in the ruling party’s favour.

Speaking on the findings of a recent poll conducted by regional pollster Peter Wickham, Browne said the data indicates growing support for the ABLP across traditionally competitive seats.

According to the Prime Minister, the poll shows “clear movement” toward Labour candidates, reflecting what he described as increased public confidence in the government’s performance and leadership.

    This dude is not credible. My God, why would any sensible individual take anything he says seriously? He told us Choksi was on a rendezvous with his girlfriend; turns out the man was viciously beaten and kidnapped in a possible collusion between Antigua and Domiinica. He raised ABST to 17% to pay civil servants their backpay; they’re still waiting. He told the nation Noone would be forced to take the Clotshot,then turned around months later and mandated the shot,denying people their jobs,children their schooling. Forty-odd projects,nada; water in 14 days,we’re getting dirty,smelly inconsistent water, even with an unsubstantiated claim of producing eleven million daily.
    Peter Winkup is probably on the scene again. What an incompetent, idiotic clown this man is!
