ANTIGUA-POLITICS-Political parties at odds over date of general election
Apr 15, 2014
ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – The ruling United Progressive Party (UPP) and the main opposition Antigua Labour Party (ALP) continue to trade barbs over the date for a general election in Antigua and Barbuda.
UPP chairman Leon “Chacku” Symister, insists that the government is legitimate and has brushed aside remarks by the ALP that Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer must name the date for the polls given that it is more than five years since the last general election was held here.
ALP legislators have been boycotting Parliament as a means of protesting the delay in naming the date, but Symister said the opposition legislators must “put their money where their mouths are” and forego their monthly salaries.
