Antigua and Barbuda’s general election delivered a definitive outcome for the St Peter constituency on Thursday, solidifying the constituency’s longstanding alignment with the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP). Incumbent candidate Rawdon Turner not only retained his seat but achieved a resounding win, capturing over 70 percent of the total votes cast in the race.
From the earliest stages of the vote counting process, Turner established a clear gap over his main challenger, George Wehner, who ran on behalf of the United Progressive Party (UPP). As election officials continued to tally ballots across the constituency, Turner’s advantage only grew, turning what was already a solid lead into an unassailable margin by the final count.
This decisive victory does more than secure Turner’s return to office: it underscores the ABLP’s enduring popular support within the St Peter district, reinforcing the party’s firm grip on the constituency that has been a consistent stronghold for the party. Beyond the local result, the win also contributes to a stronger overall national performance for the ABLP across the country in this general election cycle.
