Prime Minister and Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) leader Gaston Browne says the party will launch its election manifesto today, April 20, at the American University of Antigua, marking a key moment in its campaign ahead of the general election.

Speaking on Pointe FM’s Browne and Browne Show, Browne confirmed the timing of the launch and signaled that it will form a central part of the party’s push toward polling day.

“The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party manifesto will be launched on Monday, April 20th at the American University of Antigua,” Browne said.

He coupled the announcement with a call for voter readiness, urging the electorate to ensure they are prepared to participate in the upcoming vote.

Browne also pointed to what he described as growing support for the ruling party, framing the manifesto launch as part of a broader effort to consolidate momentum in the final stretch of the campaign.

During the programme, contributors echoed that view, citing strong turnout at recent political events and increased engagement among younger voters as indicators of the party’s organisational strength.

Comrade Donna Shire highlighted the level of activity across constituencies, describing the campaign as energised and coordinated, with visible youth participation at events.

The manifesto launch comes as political parties intensify their outreach efforts ahead of the election, with competing platforms expected to focus on economic policy, social programmes and infrastructure development.

While Browne did not outline specific measures from the manifesto during the broadcast, he indicated that the document will set out the ABLP’s plans for continued development and governance.

He also encouraged voters to take the necessary steps to participate in the election, reinforcing the importance of ensuring voter identification cards are valid ahead of polling day.
