NDP congratulates Gaston Browne on election victory

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has extended wholehearted congratulations to Prime Minister Gaston Browne and the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) on their electoral victory on 21 March 2018.

The Gaston Browne led ABLP was reelected after winning 15 of the 17 seats, picking up one seat more than it held before. 

President of the NDP Dr Godwin Friday called Prime Minister Browne on March 22 and congratulated him on the ABLP’s decisive victory and wished him and his Government well on their renewed mandate to govern Antigua and Barbuda.

According to Friday, the decision by Prime Minister Browne to call early elections took a lot of courage and demonstrated confidence in the performance of his Government in meeting their promises to the people of Antigua and Barbuda. This, he said, is another victory for democracy in the Caribbean.

The NDP wished Prime Minister Browne and his Government continued success in delivering for the people of Antigua and Barbuda.
