Jamale Pringle, Political Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), has broken his silence on rumours of internal disunity, using the party's official candidate ratification ceremony on Tuesday evening to deliver a firm and resolute message to supporters and critics alike.
According to Antigua Observer, Pringle addressed the speculation head-on, declaring that his word is his bond and asserting that the UPP remains a united and cohesive force. The event, which served as a formal platform for ratifying the party's candidates, became the stage for Pringle to push back against what he characterised as attempts to undermine the opposition party.
Pringle vowed accountability as a cornerstone of his leadership, signalling to party members and the broader public that he intends to lead with transparency and resolve. He also moved to reject what he described as 'political bullying,' drawing a clear line against external pressure aimed at destabilising the party's internal structure and public image.
As reported by Antigua Observer, the speech was intended to send a strong message that the UPP stands firm ahead of what is expected to be a competitive political period in Antigua and Barbuda. Pringle's remarks appeared aimed at consolidating support within the party while projecting confidence to the electorate.
The candidate ratification event marked a significant moment for the UPP as it continues to position itself as a credible alternative to the ruling administration.
