Antigua-Barbuda election results reflect the will of the people, says CARICOM observer mission3/23/2018 The CARICOM Election Observation Mission to Antigua & Barbuda’s general election said, while there are issues related to the electoral process — for which it will make recommendations — the results strongly reflect the will of the voters.
The incumbent Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) of Prime Minister Gaston Browne was re-elected with 15 of the 17 seats at stake, with one seat each going to the main opposition United Progressive Party (UPP) and the Barbuda People’s Movement (BPM). The mission, in a preliminary statement, said it spent election day deployed in all 17 constituencies, visiting the vast majority of polling stations and it praised the “highly trained and efficient poll workers” for the well-organized conduct of the day’s activities, while also commending the voters for their high level of patience when waiting in queues. Ahead of election day, the mission held meetings with leaders of political parties, election officials, the police and other stakeholders to help garner a full picture of the electoral process.
