WATCH: ‘We Still Legit With Anthony Smith’—Anthony Smith prove constituent support goes beyond partisanship
All Saints West came out in full support for their MP Anthony Smith as Smith proves the confidence from residents in his representation was more than a party line vote.
Smith’s victory was officially announced in early morning of 3am and reinforced a clear message from residents as he defeated the UPP’s former leader Harold Lovell by 384 votes.
Smith’s win came as the ABLP returned to the 2018 election results, with Prime Minister Gaston Browne securing a fourth consecutive term in office with a 15-2 seat representation in Parliament.
Smith said the snap election served as a reminder of the importance of maintaining direct ties with the people he represents.

Five years with the ABLP is going to be a rough ride. Brace yourself people and pray for the best. Always remember that NO political party is perfect.
