In the aftermath of Thursday’s general election in Antigua and Barbuda, the incumbent Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party has successfully defended its hold on the St Philip’s North constituency, with early vote projections confirming candidate Randy Baltimore as the winner.
Baltimore jumped out to a comfortable lead over challenger Alex Browne, who represented the opposition United Progressive Party, in the early stages of vote counting. That advantage held through the final tabulation of ballots, allowing the governing party to keep the seat under its control in the country’s national legislature.
The outcome of the St Philip’s North race offers one of the first clear indicators of the election’s direction, highlighting the incumbent party’s continued support in one constituency as votes across the nation continue to be fully counted and verified.
