Atg: UPP wins, Bird flown

Congratulations to the people of Antigua on a free and fair electoral process, and to in-coming Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer on his victory.

I would wish to congratulate the people of Antigua & Barbuda because this victory is their victory, Prime Minister-in-waiting Baldwin Spencer said in an interview with the Antigua Sun, after his United Progressive Party (UPP) scored its stunning general election victory, bringing to an end 27 years of Antigua Labour Party (ALP) rule.

Spencer said he was "humbled" by the victory.

He noted the people of Antigua & Barbuda "firmly believed that they wanted a change and it was clearly stated in the results."

I guess Bird won't be the next chairman of Caricom.
