Randy Baltimore has been officially sworn in as Member of Parliament for St. Philip's North, taking his seat in the nation's parliament following a decisive victory in the March 16 by-election, according to Antigua News Room.
Baltimore defeated United Progressive Party candidate Alex Browne by a wide margin, capturing nearly 70 per cent of the vote. The new MP takes over a seat previously held by Sir Robin Yearwood, who served in the Parliament of Antigua and Barbuda for 50 years before retiring at the age of 80.
Both Prime Minister Gaston Browne and Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle extended welcomes to Baltimore as he was sworn in.
