Election officials have released partial vote tallies for the electoral district of St. Paul, offering an early glimpse into how the local race is unfolding. Of the 3,321 registered voters eligible to cast ballots in this constituency, counting is currently complete for 64% of all ballots submitted.
As of the latest update, candidates from two major parties have secured the bulk of the counted votes. Antigua Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate E. Paul Chet Greene has pulled out to a substantial early lead, collecting 939 votes from the counted precincts. Trailing behind Greene is United Progressive Party (UPP) challenger Franz De Freitas, who has earned 450 votes so far in the partial count. Independent candidate Alan Weston rounds out the field of contenders, having garnered 16 votes on counted ballots.
Local election authorities also confirmed that five ballots cast in the St. Paul race have been rejected, most commonly due to issues such as improper marking, signature mismatches, or other procedural errors that invalidate the vote. Counting operations are still ongoing across remaining uncounted precincts, with official full results expected to be published once all ballots have been processed and verified.
