Legacy of a Polarizing Politician: Supporters and Opponents Remember Asot Michael

Asot Michael’s political career spanned several decades, marked by both commendable achievements and controversial episodes. Born in Guadeloupe in 1969, Asot Michael was a prominent figure in Antiguan politics, having served in numerous high-ranking positions, including Minister of Tourism and Economic Development. Known for his passionate advocacy and commitment to his constituents in St. Peter, Asot Michael remained an influential political figure despite facing allegations of corruption and ethical violations at various points in his career.

His complex legacy has been further highlighted by the tragic nature of his death, drawing expressions of both grief and admiration from allies and rivals alike. Supporters remember Michael as a devoted public servant who prioritized the needs of his constituency. “He was a man of the people who never turned his back on the community he represented,” said longtime friend and colleague Lester Bird. “His passing is not just a loss for his family but for all Antiguans who believed in his vision for a better nation,” Bird told the Jamaica Observer.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne, who had publicly reconciled with Michael in recent months, spoke about their recent meetings and discussions, which covered critical national issues and plans for future projects. “We had found common ground, despite our differences,” Browne stated, referencing their recent collaboration at the opening of the new Barbuda Airport. “To see his life taken in such a violent manner, just as we were making strides towards reconciliation, is deeply saddening.”

Browne continued, highlighting his commitment to overcoming the personal and political differences he and Michael once shared. He urged Antiguans to remember Michael for his service to the nation and his unwavering dedication to the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party, to which he devoted much of his life.
