Liberation Is Brutally Honest

By Kwame Nkosi Romeo


April 30, 2026, is approaching, exposing a chaotic situation that resembles the nation's sanitary landfill at Cooks Dump. 

This neglect is particularly appalling, as prime minister Gaston Browne leads the Antigua Labor Party (ALP) government, which is either unable or unwilling to provide essential public services, such as infrastructure, to benefit the community.

In this context, it reveals a failure of leadership endorsed by the government, highlighting a corrupt and decaying political system that desperately needs a REVOLUTOCRACY!

Pew Research, surveying 24 countries, found that the main concern among citizens is the government's failure to meet basic needs. Most respondents said, "Many of their leaders need to pay closer attention and respond more appropriately to constituents' needs."

- Politicians, changing leadership and political parties — Pew Research, March 13, 2024.


The ALP's focus isn't on priorities but on perpetuating failed policies, with 17 seats in the House of Representatives at stake. The party tries to trap the gullible with illusions of progress, false promises, flashy ads, and promises wrapped up in the 2026 Budget, titled "People-Centered Growth and Development."

Voters who are informed about these issues and armed with updated information could prevent the ALP from winning again. An educated electorate can make decisive votes to address social issues.

As the ALP’s influence declines, winning the election again will be tough, especially since 9 out of 10 recently surveyed voters are worried about another five years of ALP rule.

This skepticism stems from a history of politicians enriching themselves, confiscating land from citizens, and scandals surrounding the nation.

Browne may underestimate the opposition's strength, as Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, did during the election from April 19 to June 1, 2024.

Today, voters have the power to defeat the ALP and end the clientelistic politics that have tarnished the government for decades, exposing misconduct in public office.

The signs are clear, as seen in the ALP's poor performance in 2023, where they clung to power to delay criminal charges, supported by a manipulated Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC), as seen in the cases of St. John City East (SJCE), St. Peter, and St. Philip North. These constituencies are heavily influenced by corruption, shaping the outcomes of key elections.

The upcoming election presents a real chance for the UPP to win. However, it faces a major challenge from a corrupt executive who controls immigration policy and has authorized over 1,600 people to register to vote with the tacit approval of ABEC.

The St. Philip North by-election showcased corruption in action, exemplifying a long-standing pattern of election interference.

Ask the ALP government—at least it is an undeniable fact that a plan was in motion until foreign pressure warned that the consequences would be disastrous, forcing its withdrawal.

That order came too late, as most of the legal documents had been nearly finalized. Fearing further sanctions, the authorities pulled back.

The people must rally to STOP the ALP’s plan to plunge the nation into chaos. They hold the power in this critical election to overthrow this lawless system of control!

One Solidarity!
