Taegar-Panton Says Shyne Needs to Go in Mesop  

Today, Tracy Taegar-Panton told News Five that all her candidates have been duly elected or endorsed in a U.D.P. convention, except for businessman Lee Mark Chang. She explained why she chose Chang to run against Barrow in the Mesopotamia Division. According to Taegar-Panton, U.D.P. supporters in the area have expressed the need for a strong standard bearer.

“There are 31 candidates for the United Democratic Party. Some of those candidates support Tracy’s Panton’s leadership, and some of them prefer to remain with the status quo because the institution and the color red they believe is going to be a determining factor in the next election. That’s their prerogative. We are not foisting any candidates in any of the constituencies with the exception of Mesop and we feel very strongly that it has become necessary for us to field a candidate in MESOP because one, Shyne is the problem and two, the delegates, the executive committee in Mesop came to us and says the situation with our current standard bearer is untenable and we need a new standard bearer.”
