The United Progressive Party (UPP) will kick off its 2026 general election campaign with a prayer and praise launch event on Sunday, April 12, at 6:30 p.m. at "Knuckle Block" in Grays Farm. According to Antigua.news, the event will blend politics with spirituality under the theme "Government Must Work For You!" — a slogan the party is deploying to connect with voters ahead of the polls.
Gospel artiste Bridget Blucher is expected to headline the evening's programme, as organizers aim to foster an atmosphere of inspiration, reflection, and unity as the UPP formally enters the campaign season.
The faith-centered approach signals the party's effort to strike an emotional and cultural chord with the electorate, while reinforcing its message of people-focused governance.
The launch comes amid a period of heightened political activity across Antigua and Barbuda, with both major parties mobilizing supporters, opening campaign offices, and engaging voters at the constituency level.
By centering its campaign opening around prayer and praise, the UPP is positioning itself as a party attuned to the values and sensibilities of the broader electorate as it builds momentum toward the next general election.
