A circulating promotional flyer claiming an upcoming political event featuring Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party candidate Randy Baltimore has been exposed as an unauthorized piece of misinformation, with the candidate issuing a formal denial and calling for an immediate end to the deceptive campaign. In an official statement, Baltimore emphasized that he has never given consent to the event described in the flyer, nor has he received any confirmation from any organizing body about such an engagement. The false advertising extends beyond the candidate himself: neither Baltimore’s personal campaign team nor leadership from the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party have been contacted with any official communication regarding the purported gathering. Further investigations into the flyer’s claims, which list the Glanvilles Polyclinic as the event venue, found that even clinic management and on-site staff had no knowledge of any such event being booked for the date and time advertised on the distributed materials. These omissions and inconsistencies have sparked deep concerns over the source and underlying motives of the flyer, which experts and campaign officials suggest is deliberately crafted to spread misinformation and disinformation, sowing unnecessary political confusion among voters in the local constituency. In response to the fabricated event notice, Baltimore has issued a direct call to action, demanding that the individuals or groups responsible for creating and circulating the flyer immediately halt their deceptive tactics, which are designed to mislead members of the public and stoke political division ahead of upcoming political activities. Reaffirming the party’s core values, the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party restated its long-standing commitment to engaging with citizens through open, honest and respectful dialogue, centered on a policy platform focused on advancing national development, maintaining long-term social and economic stability, and driving inclusive progress for all communities across Antigua and Barbuda.
