Prime Minister Gaston Browne has publicly endorsed Randy Baltimore as the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party’s (ABLP) candidate for the imminent St Philip’s North by-election, expressing strong confidence in his prospective parliamentary membership. Browne’s official statement highlighted his anticipation to “formally welcome Mr Baltimore as the newest member of Parliament,” signaling firm institutional support for the candidate. This political development emerges directly from the conclusion of Sir Robin Yearwood’s remarkable five-decade service as the constituency’s parliamentary representative, creating a rare electoral vacancy. The upcoming by-election is poised to become a significant indicator of party influence, particularly within a district traditionally dominated by the ABLP. Both major political organizations have demonstrated substantial engagement with the contest, suggesting a potentially competitive race that could reshape local political dynamics. Political analysts are closely monitoring this election as a barometer for shifting public sentiment and party strength ahead of future national elections.
