Official Declaration of Results by ABEC

On April 30, 2026, the official Electoral Commission of Antigua and Barbuda, based on High Street in St. John’s, formally published the certified results of the country’s 2026 general election, fulfilling the legal requirement laid out in Section 30 (5) of the 2001 Representation of the People (Amendment) Act. The national election, held the same day the results were declared, filled all 17 parliamentary seats allocated across the nation’s electoral constituencies.

The final outcome delivered a decisive majority to the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP), which secured victory in 15 of the 17 contested seats. Among the ABLP’s elected representatives is party leader Gaston Browne, who won the St. John’s City West constituency. Additional ABLP winners include Melford Nicholas for St. John’s City East, Maria Browne for St. John’s Rural East, Michael Joseph for St. John’s Rural West, Daryll Matthew for St. John’s Rural South, H. Charles Fernandez for St. John’s Rural North, Philmore Benjamin for St. Mary’s North, Dwayne George for St. Mary’s South, Anthony Smith Jr. for All Saints East & St. Luke, Michael Freeland for St. George, Rawdon Turner for St. Peter, Randy Baltimore for St. Philip North, Kiz Nathaniel Johnson for St. Philip South, and E. P. Chet Greene for St. Paul.

Only two seats went to opposing political parties. The United Progressive Party (UPP) claimed victory in All Saints West, where candidate Jamale Pringle secured the seat. The Barbuda People’s Movement (BPM) won the constituency of Barbuda, with candidate Trevor Walker declared the duly elected representative.

The official declaration was signed by His Excellency Arthur G. B. Thomas, Chairman of the Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission, formalizing the results that will shape the country’s next governing term. The outcome cements the ABLP’s position as the dominant political force in Antigua and Barbuda for the 2026-2030 parliamentary cycle.
