ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, Mar 21, CMC  – Prime Minister Gaston Browne Saturday announced that general elections will be held within 90 days and urged supporters of the ruling Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) to get ready for the early poll.

“I have asked all of the Labour Party candidates who will contest the next general elections to utilise the next few weeks to go door-to-door and to get the people out to do the re-registration so that they can have their cards in time for the upcoming general election,” Browne said on his weekly radio programme.

“So you know general elections are coming. I think it is known. So, I’m also making an appeal to the people of Antigua and Barbuda to do the responsible thing to get re-registered as soon as possible because yes, there will be general elections,” he told radio listeners.

Browne, who became the first Antigua and Barbuda prime minister to be elected for three consecutive terms, added “I would say within 90 days and the earlier you go to get your card, the better.
