Prime Minister Gaston Browne officially announced the date during a rally in Urlings Village, where he endorsed the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate, Dwayne George.
Browne emphasized that the election was about community advancement, urging voters not to “cut their nose to spoil their face” by choosing a candidate who couldn’t deliver.
George, once a UPP member, switched to the ABLP, citing his commitment to serving his community.
The by-election features candidates from ABLP, UPP, MLVOP, and DNA, promising a competitive race.
