The Antigua Labour Party (ALP) is a political party in Antigua and Barbuda. It has long been led by Lester Bird who was chairman of the party since 1971 and became Prime Minister and political leader in 1994. The party was founded by Lester’s father V.C. Bird. The ALP has traditionally largely been seen as the political arm of the Bird family. With the exception of five years in the 1970s the ALP ruled Antigua and Barbuda for over four decades. It has been in opposition since 2004.
