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.”
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.
A dem dey kill he? Stroopes
Lol you guys are funny bad bad bad
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.
And let’s be clear: this isn’t a typo like mixing up a date or misspelling a name. LOL ….This is falsely announcing the death of a national figure. UPP just directly wicked
Hmmmm what you wish for might fall on you
So they calling for the man’s death then? Or they mean he died politically? Or is AI? LOL
Whether AI was used or not, someone approved that website before it went public. You cannot blame technology for publishing that a living person died. That is a failure of leadership and responsibility, and voters have every right to question how something like that slipped through.
Antigua.news you not killing me tonight. Listen!!!!
That’s why the DISUnited UNProgressive NoParty, can’t win anything. They are beyond dead! Just a bunch of childish clowns walking around talking bout what they will do for the country and they can’t do for themselves
Let’s not pretend like mistakes have never happened on political websites before. If this was generated by AI or uploaded in error, correct it and move on. The ABLP acting like this is the biggest scandal in history while ignoring real issues affecting people daily feels like political theatre more than genuine concern.
Not even Google would make that mistake… and Google does get things wrong sometimes 😂
Man wake up, drink bush tea, check phone… and see he dead 🤣🤣 Antigua different bad
Sir Robin probably needs to post a selfie like ‘Still here eh!’ 😭
