Taegar-Panton Tells UDP Delegates that the Work Has Just Begun

Sunday’s event saw Attorney Jacqueline Willoughby elected as interim chair of the day’s events, and she conducted the verification of the quorum for the event. Thereafter, Taegar-Panton addressed the supporters and promised them that she will fight on their behalf to rebuild the U.D.P. She told them while they prepare to restore unity and strength, the work is only just beginning to prepare for the election ahead.

 

Tracy Taegar-Panton, Area Representative, Albert

“You, the delegates of the United Democratic Party, all three hundred and forty-seven of you who voted in today’s convention, those who voted for me and those who voted against me have spoken for the people. You have spoken for the fifty-nine thousand Belizeans who voted for the United Democratic Party in the last elections. And you stand here today to say to this nation, we are ready. We are ready to heal, and we are ready to restore, and we are ready to rebuild this great United Democratic Party from the ground up. We are ready to lead this nation, and we are ready to win. Mi gente, mi gente; my people, my people, this is our time. This is the time for the people. Today, you  won. The voices of the people won. The voices of the delegates made clear our path. The voices of the United Democratic Party have come together as one voice. And now, my friends, and now you, the members of our UDP family, you, the members,  the work  has just  begun.”
