Prime Minister Gaston Browne has warned that Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle may be at risk of losing his position, citing weak polling numbers and questionable conduct in Parliament as potential triggers for internal party pressure.
According to Antigua News Room, Browne made the remarks during his weekly radio programme, pointing to what he described as declining public support for the opposition United Progressive Party alongside Pringle's performance in the Lower House as factors that could fuel a leadership challenge from within.
Browne suggested that recent developments have raised serious questions about Pringle's grip on the UPP leadership, indicating that continued setbacks could embolden rivals inside his own ranks to move against him.
The prime minister's comments come as political tensions across the country continue to escalate ahead of an expected general election, with both major parties stepping up their respective campaigns.
