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.

And of the five, Wade Burton – former Barbuda Council chairman – nabbed the most votes with 125.
Upon hearing the news Burton said, “I’m very honoured. I’m happy that people trust me enough to put me there again. I will do my utter best to make sure Barbuda moves forward in a better direction.”
He said that his plan, should he become a part of the Council again, is to work in the interest of all Barbudans, despite their political persuasion.
“It’s a very uphill task when you’re working for the people because everyone has something they need done … you have to make sure you prioritise and get the people’s work done properly.
