ABLP Barbuda Candidate Kendra Beazer Calls for ‘Leadership That Listens’ Ahead of April 30 Vote

BARBUDA, Antigua and Barbuda, April 13, 2026 — Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate Kendra Beazer is calling for what he describes as more responsive leadership in Barbuda, telling supporters that the upcoming general election presents an opportunity to secure stronger representation for the island.

Speaking at a political meeting in Barbuda, Beazer declared that “enough is enough,” arguing that residents deserve leadership that delivers tangible results.

“Barbudans deserve leadership — leadership that listens, leadership that delivers,” he said.

Beazer thanked supporters for backing his candidacy and pledged to advocate consistently on behalf of the community.

“I vow to represent your best interests at every point in this journey,” he said.

Positioning himself as a known figure within the community, Beazer added, “Everybody knows Kendra Beazer… but what you cannot take from me is my ability to serve my community.”

He urged voters to focus on their own interests when casting ballots on April 30.

“Remember that you’re voting for your interests and the interests of your community,” he said. “You are electing a representative to look out for your best interests, not somebody that is going to look out for their self.”

Beazer described his campaign as a grassroots-driven effort and a “labor movement for the people of Barbuda,” built on unity and community development.

“Our manifesto is centered on people and the place of Barbuda… we’re not a platform of division… we’re a people of love, of community and resilience,” he said.

A key theme of his remarks was the need for stronger advocacy for Barbuda at the national level, particularly within Cabinet.

“We are going to send somebody in Cabinet to speak on the issues of Barbuda,” he said. “The one-size-fits-all don’t work… that is our message, a Barbuda-first message.”

He also criticized his opponent’s record, claiming there has been little progress over an extended period.

“If my opponent would be honest enough with himself, he would walk away… understanding that he has served 7,500 days in government and nothing substantial to show for the people of Barbuda,” Beazer said.

Closing his remarks, Beazer called on supporters to mobilize ahead of election day.

“On the 30th of April, you will get your opportunity to elect a representative that represents your interests,” he said.
