Prime Minister Gaston Browne has pushed back against suggestions that the ongoing surge in road repairs across Antigua and Barbuda is politically motivated, insisting the works will continue well beyond the upcoming general election.
According to Antigua.news, Browne addressed the matter on his radio programme Saturday evening, stating that his administration's intensified road improvement efforts are part of a long-term national development plan — not a short-term strategy timed to the polls.
In recent weeks, residents across the island have taken note of widespread roadworks, with some questioning whether the timing is linked to electoral considerations. The Prime Minister dismissed those concerns directly, maintaining that infrastructure upgrades remain a standing priority for his administration regardless of the election cycle.
Browne emphasized that the road rehabilitation programme is specifically designed to address long-standing infrastructure issues. He assured the public that works will press forward after the general election as the government continues its efforts to modernize the country's road network and improve driving conditions for residents nationwide.
