The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party presented loyalty awards to several of its longstanding members during the closing segment of its national convention on Sunday, recognising their years of dedicated service to the organisation.
According to Antigua News Room, the awards ceremony followed an address by political leader Gaston Browne, with the master of ceremonies calling each recipient to the stage individually to receive a plaque.
Those honoured were Phillip Isaac Sr., Christine Anthony, Robertine De Silva, Leonard "Popcorn" Aaron, and Conrad "Suki" Simon.
The inscription on each plaque read: "In recognition of your unwavering loyalty, dedicated service, and steadfast commitment to the advancement of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party."
The recognition segment formed part of the convention's closing programme, which capped a full day of speeches, candidate ratifications, and cultural performances.
Delegates from all 17 constituencies were in attendance at the party's headquarters. The convention comes as the ABLP prepares for the April 30 general election.
