Member of Parliament for St John's Rural West, Richard Lewis, has expressed unwavering confidence in his political future, declaring that his track record of service to constituents will carry him back to the House of Representatives.
According to Antigua Observer, Lewis made the bold declaration amid recent developments in Parliament that included the arrival of a new face in the House and the bittersweet retirement of a long-serving veteran.
"I am Rural West to the bone," Lewis stated, signalling clearly that he intends to remain a fixture in Antiguan parliamentary politics and has no intention of stepping away from public life.
Lewis's comments reflect a politician firmly rooted in his constituency and confident that the relationship he has built with residents of St John's Rural West will translate into continued electoral support when the time comes.
His declaration comes at a moment of transition in the House of Representatives, where shifting faces have prompted reflection on legacy, loyalty, and the future direction of parliamentary representation across Antigua and Barbuda.
