As the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda prepares for its upcoming general election on April 30, the ruling Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party has announced that its upcoming policy manifesto will deliver far more than vague campaign pledges, framing it as a binding policy covenant with voters. Party chairman E. P. Chet Greene made the announcement during an address to delegates at the party’s national convention on Sunday, outlining the party’s vision if it is re-elected to lead the country.
Greene confirmed that the full manifesto will be officially released to the public on April 20, and emphasized that the document will not rely on broad, unfulfillable slogans. Instead, it will lay out a granular, step-by-step policy roadmap focused on three core national priorities: expanding employment opportunities across sectors, upgrading the country’s public infrastructure, and strengthening the nation’s social safety net services. “Voters will see clearly, line by line, measure by measure, how this nation will move forward,” Greene told assembled delegates. “It is not a document of promises… it is a covenant with the people of Antigua and Barbuda.”
