Fuller says independent candidates could shape the next election in Antigua and Barbuda. He shared this view during a recent Facebook Live session. Although he joked about running, his message carried deeper meaning.

At first, Fuller described his post as an April Fool’s prank. However, he quickly added it reflected real public frustration. Many voters, he said, feel disconnected from major political parties. As a result, interest in alternatives is growing.

Moreover, Fuller believes at least one independent candidate will enter the race. In fact, he expects more to follow in key areas. These are places where voters feel unheard or ignored. Therefore, the upcoming election could look very different.

He pointed to St. Mary’s South as a strong example. According to Fuller, the area faces rapid development. However, he argued that oversight remains weak. In addition, he said residents lack strong representation. Because of this, an independent candidate could gain support there.

Historically, independent candidates have struggled in Antigua and Barbuda. Still, Fuller believes the political climate is shifting. For instance, public trust in traditional parties appears to be declining. Consequently, new voices may find more space.

“This election will be different,” Fuller said. He expressed hope that at least one independent candidate could win. Furthermore, he noted that success could inspire others in future races.

At the same time, Fuller made his own position clear. He said he does not plan to run now. Instead, he is focused on business and family life. Nevertheless, he did not fully rule out a future move into politics.

Importantly, he encouraged others to step forward. He called for candidates who think differently and act boldly. In particular, he urged them to put national interest first. Rather than follow party lines, they should serve the people directly.

Ultimately, Fuller sees this moment as an opportunity. If voters demand change, candidates may respond. Therefore, independent voices could soon play a larger role in national politics.
