St. Philip’s South Set for Heated ABLP Primary as Senator Johnson Enters Race
A competitive primary election is brewing within the Antigua and Barbuda Labor Party (ABLP) in the st. Philip’s South constituency, with four candidates now officially vying for the party’s nomination ahead of the upcoming general election.
Among those seeking the ABLP candidacy is Senator Kiz Johnson, a marketing specialist and university lecturer who has quickly become recognized as a rising voice within the Labour movement through her work in youth and community initiatives.
Johnson will face a challenge from Lennox Weston, a veteran ABLP figure and former Member of Parliament for St. Philip’s South. Weston previously held the post of minister of Works and is aiming to regain the seat he lost in the last general election.
Rounding out the field are entrepreneurs Adrian Richardson and Malcom Charles, both offering new perspectives to the contest. Richardson is well-known for his business ventures and commitment to community outreach,including providing scholarships and employment opportunities. Charles has distinguished himself as an advocate for digital innovation and youth engagement.
The primary election promises a dynamic contest as the ABLP seeks to determine its representative for the crucial St. Philip’s South constituency.
