Bird had been appointed leader of the ALP before the elections, after his father and predecessor Vere Bird announced his intention to retire. Lester Bird became Prime Minister after elections. Voter turnout was 62.3%. This was the first election contested by the United Progressive Party, under future Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer. The elections were described as neither free nor fair, as they were marred by several problems, including failing to guarantee a secret ballot, a deficient registration process open to abuse, and the inflation of the voter registry by 25% with the names of deceased people or emigrants.Nohlen, p62 Results Antigua Labour Party 14763 11 –4 United Progressive Party 11852 5 +4 Barbuda People's Movement 367 1 0 Workers Amalgamated Congressional Symbolisation 11 0 New #918753 Independents 123 0 0 0 147 43749 Nohlen References Antigua Category:Elections in Antigua and Barbuda Category:1990s in Antigua and Barbuda Category:1994 in the Caribbean Antiguan general election
