Gaston Browne has been sworn in as Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, with Sir Steadroy Benjamin taking the oath of office as Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, following the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party's commanding victory in the 2026 general elections. According to Antigua.news, the ceremony marks the formal beginning of the government's new term.
Browne's re-election was secured after his party's decisive win at the polls on Thursday, delivering a strong mandate from voters and returning the ABLP to power.
The dual swearing-in ceremony, captured in photographs by Robert Andre Emmanuel, sees both the Prime Minister and the Attorney General formally installed as the administration moves swiftly to reconstitute its leadership.
The remainder of the Cabinet is expected to be sworn in later this week, as the government works to re-establish its full governing team in the days following the election.
