Senator Antonio Resigns; Kiz Johnson to Be Sworn In as Government Senator Today
Senator Clement Antonio has resigned from the Upper House of Parliament to take up a diplomatic post as Antigua and Barbuda’s Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China, according to information broadcast on Pointe FM.
His resignation clears the way for Kiz Johnson, who is scheduled to be sworn in as a Government Senator at Government House this afternoon.
The development comes just hours after Johnson won last night’s Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party primary in St. Philip’s South, securing the party’s candidacy in a four-way contest and becoming the constituency’s new caretaker.
