Former government senator Aziza Lake has declared her candidacy for the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) in the St John’s Rural West constituency.
In her October 31 letter to the ABLP’s General Secretary, she expressed a deep connection to her hometown and praised recent accomplishments.
Lake acknowledged challenges in the constituency, especially for young people, and criticized past representatives for failing to address structural and policy issues effectively. She believes her party’s support, combined with her skills and experience, can bring positive change to the constituency.
Lake also has plans for a Technological Free Trade Zone, an Art and Entertainment Museum, and a regional Silicon Valley.
She faces a tough challenge in the upcoming election against the current representative, Richard Lewis, but remains optimistic about earning the community’s trust and support.
