United Progressive Party (UPP) Chairman D. Gisele Isaac has launched a sharp attack against the ruling administration, accusing it of resorting to desperate, last-minute political maneuvers in a bid to win support in the St. Philip's North constituency. According to Antigua Observer, Isaac framed the upcoming electoral contest as a direct referendum on the government's track record in office.
Isaac pointed to what she described as a pattern of neglect in the agricultural sector, suggesting that the government's eleventh-hour efforts in the constituency were driven by political calculation rather than genuine concern for constituents.
The UPP chairman characterized the administration's actions as "election gimmicks" — a pointed accusation that the government was prioritizing votes over the long-term welfare of the people it serves, as reported by Antigua Observer.
Isaac's remarks signal a combative posture from the UPP ahead of the St. Philip's North contest, with the opposition party clearly seeking to make the government's performance — particularly on agricultural issues — a central campaign issue.
