The members of the reconstituted Barbuda Council have elected Jackie Frank as the new chairperson for the local government.
She replaces Calsey Beazer-Joseph who headed the council for just over one year, and has become the third ever female to lead the local arm of government.
In her maiden speech, Frank said there are some serious issues on Barbuda that need to be dealt with.
“We won’t stop, we will keep moving forward until everything is resolved … the Council will do its best to improve Barbuda and to keep Barbuda forward but, on our terms, not on the terms that are impose on us from the outside,” she said.
