Leadership Crisis
In early 2009, the Antigua Labour Party faced an internal leadership crisis. The aging Lester Bird announced that if the ALP fails to win the forthcoming 2009 general election, he will step down. There had been speculation that even if the ALP won the 2009 election, Bird's leadership will be challenged. Nevertheless, as of December 2011, Bird remains ALP leader.

Famous quotes containing the words leadership and/or crisis:
“The liberal wing of the feminist movement may have improved the lives of its middle- and upper-class constituency—indeed, 1992 was the Year of the White Middle Class Woman—but since the leadership of this faction of the feminist movement has singled out black men as the meta-enemy of women, these women represent one of the most serious threats to black male well-being since the Klan.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Like the effects of industrial pollution ... the AIDS crisis is evidence of a world in which nothing important is regional, local, limited; in which everything that can circulate does, and every problem is, or is destined to become, worldwide.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
