The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) is set to launch its election manifesto this week, after finalising a policy document expected to anchor its campaign for the upcoming general election.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne said the manifesto, which runs to more than 100 pages, has been completed, with printed copies due to arrive within days ahead of the official rollout.

He indicated that the launch would take place once the documents are received, signalling the start of a more policy-focused phase of the campaign.

Browne also suggested the party had delayed releasing details earlier to avoid rivals adopting elements of its proposals before the official unveiling.

The manifesto is expected to outline the ABLP’s plans for economic development, social programmes and governance, as voters prepare to head to the polls later this month.

Its release is likely to sharpen the campaign, with political parties presenting competing visions in the final stretch before election day.
