Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate for Barbuda, Kendra Beazer, has promised to prioritise residents’ interests if elected in the April 30 general election.

Speaking at his campaign launch, Mr Beazer said leadership must be rooted in service rather than self-interest, adding that he would represent Barbudans with integrity.

“I vow to represent your best interest at every point in this journey,” he told supporters.

He urged voters to view the election as a decision about community wellbeing, not political loyalty.

“You are electing a representative to look out for your best interest, not somebody that is going to look out for themselves,” he said.

Mr Beazer described his campaign as a “labour movement for the people of Barbuda”, focused on unity, resilience and empowerment. He also argued that the island’s unique needs must be prioritised, warning that a “one size fits all” approach would not work.

He is set to face Barbuda People’s Movement (BPM) candidate Trevor Walker in the contest.
