Parker Returns to UPP, Citing ‘Moral Crossroad’ and Deepening Political Divide

Former senator Malaka Parker has made a dramatic return to Antigua and Barbuda’s political landscape after a two-year hiatus, emphasizing the nation’s critical need for ethical and stable governance. Reaffiliating with the United Progressive Party (UPP), the organization that initially propelled her into national politics, Parker declared that the country stands at a “moral and political crossroad.” Her decision to re-enter the political fray follows extensive reflection and encouragement from citizens, community leaders, and supporters who expressed a collective desire for better leadership and governance.
