Antigua and Barbuda swears in a new Cabinet, dropping a 40-year oath to the British monarch
Antigua and Barbuda swore in a new Cabinet after Prime Minister Gaston Browne's Antigua and Barbuda Labor Party won a fourth consecutive election victory.
Officials took an oath of allegiance to Antigua and Barbuda instead of the British monarch, ending over 40 years of tradition.
In December 2025, Parliament approved a constitutional amendment removing loyalty to King Charles III and his successors from the oath.
The Antigua and Barbuda Labor Party won 15 of 17 parliamentary seats, while the United Progressive Party was reduced to one seat.
