Politics of Anguilla

The People's Progressive Party (PPP) was a political party in Anguilla.

History

The PPP was established in 1976 by Ronald Webster in order to contest the general elections that year.[1] The party won six of the seven seats in the House of Assembly, with Webster becoming the island's first Chief Minister.[2]

However, in February 1977 the House passed a motion of no confidence on Webster by a vote of 5–2. As a result, Emile Gumbs of the Anguilla National Alliance was appointed Chief Minister.[2]

By the 1980 elections Webster had established the Anguilla United Movement, which won six of the seven seats.[2]
