The Baldwin Spencer administration, which is seeking a third consecutive term in office, has requested that the regional grouping mount a CARICOM Electoral Observer Mission (CEOM) to observe the general election likely to be held next month.
Prime Minister Spencer has not yet named the date for the poll, but earlier this month told supporters of the United Progressive Party (UPP) to keep March 15 as an important date, hinting that the polls could come around that time.
He later told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) the reference to March 15 was intended to get people sensitised to the fact that an election was imminent and in the planning process I just wanted to set the stage for the people of Antigua and Barbuda to place certain dates in mind.
Spencer said he was confident that the electorate would return his United Progressive Party (UPP) back into office, saying "we believe we have kept faith with the people of Antigua and Barbuda and we have done the greatest good for the greatest number since we took office in 2004".
