Water Tanks and Accessories Relief Programme launches on day one of a UPP government — treating water security as the national emergency it is.
Vehicle import duties cut by 50% on personal and commercial vehicles. Farm equipment fully exempt from import duties.
Why It Matters
When these failures pile up, families pay for it every single day.
The 2026 People’s Platform starts from five pressure points that shape ordinary life: food, roads, transport, water, and healthcare. These are not abstract talking points. They decide what households can afford, how communities move, and whether people can trust the services they depend on.
01
What people are living with now
Essential goods carry taxes and duties that the government collects while people go without. The Dollar Barrel lifeline was removed. Food prices keep rising.
Why fixing it mattersWhen groceries keep climbing, every other household bill gets harder to carry.
What changes when it is fixed
Remove all taxes on essential goods. Restore the Dollar Barrel twice yearly. Boost local agriculture through the Central Marketing Corporation.
Cost of Living plan02
What people are living with now
The ABLP borrowed $100 million for roads, raised vehicle licensing fees by 40%, and delivered nothing communities can point to. No oversight. No accountability.
Why fixing it mattersBad roads waste time, damage vehicles, and make daily movement more expensive for everyone.
What changes when it is fixed
An Independent Roads Commission with teeth. A full public accounting of every dollar. Community Road Rehabilitation Plan — every community gets a fair turn.
Roads & Infrastructure plan03
What people are living with now
A family car, a delivery van, a farm tractor — import duties price them out of reach for working families. The 40% licensing fee hike made it even worse.
Why fixing it mattersWhen transport costs stay out of reach, families, farms, and small businesses all lose room to move.
What changes when it is fixed
50% duty reduction on personal and commercial vehicles. Full exemption for farm vehicles and equipment. When farm costs drop, food costs follow.
Vehicle Duties plan04
What people are living with now
Tanks sit unconnected. Pipes go unrepaired. RO plants break down with no spare parts. Families are forced to buy trucked water they cannot afford.
Why fixing it mattersUnreliable water turns everyday routines into stress, extra cost, and constant uncertainty.
What changes when it is fixed
WATAR Programme launched on day one. All unconnected UPP-built tanks commissioned. National Water Delivery Schedule — every community knows when water is coming.
Water Security plan05
What people are living with now
Working people cannot see a doctor without sacrificing a day's pay. The All Saints Clinic was shut down. The elderly and those struggling with addiction have nowhere to turn.
Why fixing it mattersWhen clinics close and services disappear, people wait longer, pay more, and get help later than they should.
What changes when it is fixed
Reopen All Saints Clinic. Restore night clinic services. Establish the Cynthia Boone Thibou Senior Centre. Expand youth mental health care at Clare Vue.
Healthcare planPeople’s Platform
Five pillars. Five concrete commitments. Government Working For YOU.

People's Platform — Government Working For YOU
The 2026 platform opens with the campaign message "Government Working For YOU" and centres on five concrete pillars: cost of living, roads and infrastructure, vehicle import duties, water security through the WATAR Programme, and community-centred healthcare. Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle's preface frames every policy around one question: is your life better or worse than it was five years ago?

Read the constitutionWhy 2026 matters now
This election is bigger than any one rally, one village, or one constituency.
Election mode should make the stakes feel immediate: people want change, but change only lands when supporters are registered, informed, and ready to turn support into votes across the country.
The country needs one clear campaign message people can act on.
A disciplined theme keeps the national argument simple and useful: check your status, know the record, and vote for the change Antigua and Barbuda needs.
Leadership should feel visible, disciplined, and election ready.
The homepage should immediately show voters a team moving in the same direction, with Jamale Pringle and Sherfield Bowen front and centre.
Momentum matters most when it turns into votes.
Election mode should make every public page feel like part of a turnout machine, guiding supporters toward registration checks, local action, updates, and the candidates carrying the message locally.
Where people can lean in
Election mode keeps the homepage focused on active campaign destinations.
Election mode should still guide visitors to the strongest live campaign destinations, including leadership, constituencies, volunteer pathways, and the people-first platform pages.

The message lands best when the leadership, the record, and the documents move together.
Election mode should still ground the public site in substance. That means sending people to the party record, the leadership story, and the documents that show this campaign is about more than slogans.
