General elections were held in Antigua and Barbuda on 9 March 1989,[1] the second after it had become an independent Commonwealth realm. The election was won by the governing Antigua Labour Party. ALP leader Vere Bird was re-elected as Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda. Voter turnout was 60.7%.[1]
This was Vere Bird's eighth and final election victory. He resigned as Prime Minister in 1994, just before the subsequent general election. Vere Bird was replaced by his son, Lester Bird, the long-time party chairman.
