WATCH: UPP’s Johnathan Joseph confident St. Mary’s North is “coming home” to opposition
Senator Johnathon Joseph, the United Progressive Party (UPP) candidate for St. Mary’s North, has expressed strong confidence in his chances ahead of the April 30 general election, declaring that the constituency is ready to change hands.
Joseph spoke to Antigua.News at last night UPP election launch, said he has spent the past three years canvassing the constituency and building relationships with voters.
He described the short campaign period as a sprint but said his long-standing presence in the communities has given him a foundation to build on.
Joseph is facing Dr Philmore Benjamin, who was selected by the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) to replace the retired Sir Molwyn Joseph in the constituency.
