A by-election in the St. Philip's North constituency has been set for March 16, following the resignation of Sir Robin Yearwood, according to Antigua.news.
The departure of Sir Robin Yearwood has triggered the electoral process, necessitating a by-election to fill the vacant parliamentary seat. St. Philip's North residents will head to the polls on March 16 to choose their new representative.
As reported by Antigua.news, Sir Robin Yearwood's resignation created the vacancy that now requires a by-election under Antigua and Barbuda's constitutional framework, which mandates that empty parliamentary seats be filled through a public vote within a specified period.
Further details regarding candidate nominations and campaign proceedings are expected to emerge in the coming days as political parties prepare for the contest.
