Residents of All Saints East and St. Luke are calling for a public political debate as interest builds ahead of the next general election.

The call is directed toward the constituency’s parliamentary representative and United Progressive Party candidate Jamale Pringle, and Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party caretaker Lamin Newton, who are expected to contest the seat.

Community members say a direct debate between the two candidates would give voters a clearer understanding of their plans, leadership approach, and vision for the constituency.

    Something about this seems staged and the stage master seems to be grabbing for straws. There are other constituencies with far more political competitiveness. Why are the constituents in those constituency not asking for a debate ? Newton has not built enough interest within said constituency for constituents to even be thinking that way. There is ground work to be done and unless it’s for the sake of comedy, I think a debate is the last thing on the minds of the constituents especially amongst 2 candidates that are not strong at articulating themselves utilizing their words.
