ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Political Leader of the Antigua Labour Party (ALP) Gaston Browne has stoutly rejected the request by Attorney Vere Bird III to contest the next general elections on the ALP ticket. Browne, in a brief conversation with OBSERVER Media, said, “Not on my ticket,” when questioned about Bird’s interest. Bird made his interest known during a branch meeting last week and was awaiting a response from the executive of the party.
