The history of Antigua and Barbuda from 1994 until 2004 began with the undemocratic elections that installed Lester Bird into power, after V. C. Bird was forced out of office due to various corruption scandals and advanced age. This era was associated with severe democratic backsliding, until 2001 when the Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission was established and the eventual fall of the Bird regime following the democratic 2004 general election. Antigua and Barbuda was not considered a democracy during this period.
