Antigua and Barbuda PM confirms dissolution of Antigua parliament

Gaston Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has confirmed that he has advised Governor General Sir Rodney Williams to dissolve Parliament as of Friday, December 16, 2022.

The proclamation from the Governor General is expected to follow shortly.

Speculation is high that Prime Minister Browne will announce the date of the elections next

On Friday Information Minister, Medford Nicholas said the prime minister could announce the date of elections when the ABLP kicks off its political campaign with the launch of the party’s candidates on Monday night

A number of local and regional artists are down to perform at the event including Dominica’s Asa Banton.

    What is it that Gaston Brown and Roosevelt Skerrit have in common? cut of the same cloth; greedy, cunning, deceptive, manipulative and have only one desire, to remain-in-power-at-all-cost; and for one reason only to continue to enrich themselves at the cost of their politically-brain- deficient followers and enablers.

    UWP used millions of tax payers dollars to build a SUNRISE village on private property.A UWP government minister of agriculture,leased a portion or government land to a government Prime Minister to install a crusher with funds from government.The crusher owned by a Minister of government(Northeastern quarry)was to crush stones for all government projects.The Prime Minister at the time said there was nothing wrong with Minister’s of government competing with the private sector.This high level of corruption was ok with the minority supporters of UWP.

    Mr.Point,Beta can never know what you are talking about.America’s debt is $31.238 trillion.Debt to Japan is $1.3 trillion.Debt to social security is $2.9 trillion,and debt to China is $1.1 trillion.Some people are buried up to their eyebrows in stupidity and ignorance,and they believe everybody is the same.

    They have already exceeded half of their lifespan so they are on their way out. Before their bell toll they are doing Lucifer’s last bidding. Lost souls who are desperate for recognition. They cannot sleep at nights so they are doing their best to make the rest of us miserable like them. Let’s not pay them any mind. They cannot escape even if they try. These creatures have sold their souls. Plix ta plix twiss.

    My only concern is, Antigua has a lot of Dom-in-cans voting in Antigua and wherever most of these Domies voting they vote party. No wonder their nationality is pronounced Dom-in-a-cans

    Look at Gaston’s patchy, balding head, his thick, bizarre-looking mustache, bushy eyebrows, bespectacled face, only a mother can genuinely love that.

      You know who he reminds me of? Roosevelt Skerrit with his receding hairline. Maybe that’s why they get on so well, they’re both ugly & corrupt :lol:

      Man how old are you? Whenever I try reading workers followers on DNO and Facebook the s**t they come up with my God, and come to think of it their so-called party leaders is just as bad, my feelings are their mothers refused to breastfeed those little so and so.

    Antiguans and Barbudans don’t forget these as you step into the booth to cast your sacred ballot:
    *the teargas and the rubber bullets you had to endure during a peaceful protest
    *the many of you who were summarily dismissed frm your jobs because you dared to exercise your constitutional right not to take the vaccine
    *Gaston’s adamant refusal to give a stimulus payment during the hardest and darknest period of the pandemic
    *even primary and secondary school children were deprived of an education because they were not vaccinated
    *the bulldozing and complete destruction of people’s businesses and private properties
    *the gross mismanagement of the CBI funds (nothing is there to show for the billions that have been collected)
    *the weekly Saturday mornings Gaston gets on his radio station (Pointless FM) and curse the citizens like an inebriated vagabond

    On election day ensure to flog him with your votes. Give him the index finger.

    Great news for the long suffering people of Antigua and Barbuda, and by extension, the rest of the Caribbean region. This political scalaway (Gaston ‘Hitler’ Browne) and his pathetic sidekicks must go.

    Antigua and Barbuda has gone to the dogs under this man’s inept guardianship. Teachers, nurses, police, pensioners, even the garbage collectors, every public servant, have problems getting paid.

    The national debt has become a generational problem; poverty entrenched; decadence everywhere. The whole country resembles a train wreck.

    This is a golden opportunity for the electorate of Antigua and Barbuda to rid the country of this failed, political buffoon. Get rid of him and this fawning pupils.

        You are not going anywhere living in the past. You are driving while looking in the rearview mirror.

        By the way, the past you often reference is fraught with falsehoods. You have become a carbon copy of lying Roosevelt, the notorious villain.

        Congratulation to you. I realise you have a much better ghost writer but the same absurdities and distorted vision.

    It appears like a concerted action, first Barbados, then DA and now Antigua. They are hell bend on establishing a new political system in the Caribbean that will be very favourable to the Chinese. Look at all the debts these countries have, China is the largest Creditor! It will all end in tears for our country. Mark my words.

      We shall not cry. We will fight back and drive every pale face in our land. Let them come in droves. You Dominicans are running from the Dogs before they bark. Nations surrendered at the news that Alexander the Great was coming. Dominicans have been saying for years; that the Chinese will take our country. If you do believe, be it unto you. No one is coming here and bully me and my family. No Sir. I’m already gearing up for their next move. On the other hand, if the Nig…gres Skerrit could attack Salisbury people (while they sleep) with tear gas, I guess the Chinese will learn from that and tear gas the whole country by night. I don’t understand why Skerrit is still in power. That’s a mystery to me. If my fellow Dominicans refuses to stand up against Skerrit; I’m out of Dominica. Heading straight to Belize 🇧🇿. Iy seniorita, me frio mei caliente …
