Anthony Smith has secured a decisive victory in All Saints West in the 2026 Antigua and Barbuda General Election, with residents delivering a resounding endorsement that went beyond party allegiance. According to Antigua.news, Smith defeated former United Progressive Party leader Harold Lovell by 384 votes, signalling strong personal support for his representation of the constituency.
The result was officially announced in the early hours of the morning at 3am, punctuating what proved to be a dominant night for the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party. Smith's win contributed to the ABLP's sweeping return to power, mirroring its 2018 election performance as Prime Minister Gaston Browne secured a fourth consecutive term in office with a commanding 15-2 seat majority in Parliament.
For Smith, the victory carried meaning beyond the numbers. He said the snap election served as a reminder of the importance of maintaining direct ties with the people he represents — a sentiment echoed by the outpouring of support from All Saints West constituents who rallied behind him on election night.
