Antigua St. John's - Deputy leader and Chairman of the Antigua Labour Party Gaston Brown has revealed that ALP Representative for St. Philip's North Robin Yearwood has thrown his hat in the ring for leadership of the party.
Brown told Caribarena on Thursday that the senior member had initially made his intentions known via the Facebook social network some time ago.
“It is well known that he posted on Facebook that he is ready to lead and we have spoken to him and he confirmed that he was ready to lead the party,” Gaston Brown said.
He added that Yearwood has made a public announcement of his intentions and has also spoken privately to a number of people that he is indeed serious about the move.
Come this November, Yearwood will have the opportunity to officially throw his hat in the ring at the party’s Convention.
Attempts to reach the St. Philip's North representative for a comment on the matter were unsuccessful.
Further, Brown said the representative for St. Mary’s North Molwyn Joseph has reportedly promised a number of individuals that he has intentions of contesting the ALP leadership. But this has not yet been brought to the party’s leadership.
When contacted on the matter Joseph declined to comment. “I will not discuss that matter. No comment,” Joseph said.

SlyThatGuy -Fred is right
Quote:when you have the chance look up the definition of a paid lobbyist or a paid consultant for a political party or business. In essence its normal to hear them described as paid mercenaries or **. The conduct described by the ALP chairman at worst is immoral. SlyThatGuy, I need not tell you its illegal to even attempt to bribe a public official.

Good for him!!!
I will tell them now they better hope for Asot's approval ... because whoever he supports will likely be the one the executives and party members support at the convention!!!
It looks like Lester right now!!!

Instead of this post, you should have called Robin and suggested he make his posting official, instead of posting and hiding! I personally think that it's Lester he hiding from!
Poor (not literally) Robin! You think he spent to much time with the goats?

@ anu
Then poor Robin hiding from comment? What a big joke! How can you put yourself forward for Leadership, then hide when asked to comment?
Typical Robin...when he's in front of Lester he is all praise for Lester - then behind Lester's back, he xxxing him to everybody! Same thing he doing with Asot...all nice in front of his face then xxxng Asot behind his back!
By the way, if you want to find Robin, check his goat pen behind his house!

Robin For Leader
I think he needs to come to the Media and confirm that!
In the mean time Lester should have been contacted for a comment!
When your closest ally (Robin) challenges you, it is sending a signal that those closest to you have lost confidence in you...time for you to go!
