Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle has announced Franz De Freitas as the United Progressive Party's candidate for the St. Paul constituency, as Antigua and Barbuda braces for imminent general elections. According to Antigua Observer, De Freitas steps into the role following the withdrawal of the party's previous candidate, Wayne Benjamin Marsh, who recently confirmed he will not contest the upcoming polls.
The selection marks a notable shift in the UPP's electoral lineup for St. Paul, one of the country's key constituencies. Pringle is moving quickly to solidify the party's candidate roster as election season draws near.
As reported by Antigua Observer, Pringle offered remarks describing De Freitas in the context of the announcement, though full details of those comments were not disclosed.
