UDP Says Tracy, Patrick, John & Beverly Are Not Members 

The United Democratic Party has officially stated that Tracy Panton, Patrick Faber, John Saldivar, and Beverly Williams are no longer members of the party. This ‘clarification’ comes as the Alliance for Democracy announces a special unity convention scheduled for October 6th, which will address critical party matters, including reviewing executive appointments and voting on a motion to recall the current leadership and appoint an interim leader.

In response to UDP Chairman Michael Peyrefitte’s claim that several members had “constructively resigned,” Tracey Taegar-Panton declared, “We have not resigned; we will not resign from the UDP!” Taegar-Panton accused UDP Leader Moses “Shyne” Barrow of violating the party’s constitution by appointing new standard bearers to replace the current ones.

Collet Area Representative Patrick Faber, Second Deputy Leader Beverly Williams, and former Belmopan Area Representative John Saldivar, who joined Taegar-Panton at the press conference, have been vocal in their opposition to the current UDP leadership.

The application period to fill the vacancies for UDP Standard Bearers in the Albert, Belmopan, Belize Rural Central, and Collet constituencies will close on September 6, 2024.
