Residents of All Saints East and St. Luke are calling for a public political debate between the two candidates expected to contest the constituency in the next general election, according to Antigua News Room.

The call is directed at United Progressive Party parliamentary representative and candidate Jamale Pringle, and Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party caretaker Lamin Newton.

Community members say a head-to-head debate would give voters a clearer picture of each candidate's plans, leadership approach, and vision for the constituency as interest in the upcoming contest continues to grow.
