ABLP PRESS RELEASE

The United Progressive Party has published a false statement on its official campaign website declaring that sitting Member of Parliament Sir Robin Yearwood died in office. Sir Robin Yearwood is alive.

The statement, visible at www.myupp.org  under the St. Philip North constituency page, reads: “Robin Yearwood (ABLP) won this seat in 2023 but later died in office, triggering the March 16, 2026 by-election.” This claim is categorically false. Sir Robin Yearwood did not die. He did not vacate his seat due to death. The statement has no basis in fact.

The UPP website was built and populated using artificial intelligence tools. The false claim about Sir Robin Yearwood appears to be AI-generated content that was published without any human verification. This is consistent with a pattern of serious errors found throughout the site, including planning instructions left visible on the homepage, candidates listed in the wrong constituencies, a fabricated phone number in the party’s contact details, and broken links on pages marked “Electoral Compliance.”

Publishing a false report of a living person’s death is not a minor oversight. It causes direct harm to the individual named, to their family, and to the public’s right to accurate information during an election campaign. The statement must be removed immediately and the UPP must issue a full public apology to Sir Robin Yearwood.

Voters in Antigua and Barbuda are being asked to trust the UPP with the management of this country. A party that cannot verify basic facts about living members of parliament before publishing them on a national campaign platform is not prepared to manage the affairs of a nation. Attention to detail is not optional in government. It is the baseline.

The ABLP calls on the UPP to take the following actions without delay: remove the false statement from myupp.org, issue a public apology directly to Sir Robin Yearwood and his family, and provide an explanation to the people of Antigua and Barbuda of how this claim came to be published on an official party platform.

  3. Imagine logging onto a political party’s official website during an election campaign and discovering they’ve accidentally declared a living Member of Parliament dead. Not retired. Not defeated. Not reassigned. Dead. That’s not just misinformation that’s next-level negligence.
