HAPPENING NOW: PM Browne and AG Being Sworn In Following Landslide Election Victory
Newly re-elected Prime Minister Gaston Browne is set to be officially sworn in within moments, following his party’s commanding victory in Thursday’s general elections.
Browne will take the oath of office alongside Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Steadroy Benjamin, marking the formal start of the government’s new term.
The swearing-in ceremony comes on the heels of a decisive win at the polls, which returned the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) to power with a strong mandate from voters.
Other members of the Cabinet are expected to be sworn in later this week, as the administration moves to quickly re-establish its full governing team.
