WATCH: ABLP’s Michael Freeland Confident ABLP Will Reclaim St George Seat
Michael Freeland, the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate for St George, is expressing strong confidence ahead of the upcoming general election, declaring that the constituency is “in a strong position” to return to Labour representation.
Speaking during an interview with Antigua.news, Freeland said his campaign has already made significant inroads across the constituency, even before the official election announcement.
Freeland will face a new United Progressive Party (UPP) candidate, following the withdrawal of the previous representative Algernon Serpent Watts.
However, he downplayed the significance of the change, insisting that preparation—not personalities—will determine the outcome.
