Jamale Pringle

Jamale Lars Pringle is an Antiguan educator, entrepreneur, and politician who has served as Leader of the Opposition in the Parliament of Antigua and Barbuda since 2018. He has been the political leader of the United Progressive Party since 2023. He is a member of the House of Representatives, representing the constituency of All Saints East & St. Luke, a district to which he was first elected in 2018 and re-elected in 2023.

Biography Born in All Saints, Pringle completed his secondary education at All Saints Secondary School and his tertiary studies at the Department of Teacher Education at Antigua State College. Pringle taught for many years at numerous secondary schools in Antigua. He left the teaching profession to enter the private sector, becoming a business partner in an event management firm.

A member of the United Progressive Party (UPP), Pringle ran as a candidate for the All Saints East & St. Luke seat—his home constituency and a party stronghold

From his parliamentary seat, Pringle led the opposition against Gaston Browne's Labour government with an agenda focused on youth and business development. His status as the sole opposition member in Antigua—a situation unprecedented since the founding of the UPP—led to him being nicknamed "Single Pringle." Pringle rose through the ranks of the UPP and was appointed the party's Deputy Political Leader and Lovell's direct successor at the subsequent Biennial Convention. Ahead of the 2023 elections, Pringle was once again nominated as a candidate for re-election; he secured a landslide victory with 62.08% of the vote—the party's strongest performance of the day.
