UDP Standard Bearers Meet to Discuss Party Reform 

Reports reaching News Five say that at least eighteen standard bearers of the United Democratic Party (UDP) convened for an informal session today in Orange Walk Town.

We are told that the meeting saw the attendance of prominent leaders, including Tracy Panton, Second Deputy Leader Beverly Williams, and former leaders Patrick Faber and John Saldivar.

Discussions reportedly centred around the call for “general reform,” a necessity highlighted by the Party’s only elected mayor, Earl Trapp.

A National Party Council meeting is reportedly scheduled for August 3rd, where recommendations will be presented concerning the future of the UDP following its devastating defeat in the by-election in Toledo East.

In the election, the PUP’s Dr. Martinez received 3,269 votes, while the UDP’s Dennis “Desho” Williams garnered 1,159 votes.
