Panton Focuses on Rebuilding UDP

The newly sworn-in Leader of the Opposition, Tracy Panton, has made it clear that rebuilding the United Democratic Party (UDP) is her top priority. Panton mentioned that this is something her legal team will handle.

Panton spoke about the challenges ahead, describing the task of rebuilding the UDP as “running on fumes” after a difficult journey. “This is day one. We are getting ready now to be the next government in 2030,” she stated this afternoon.

Panton also pointed out the importance of unity within the UDP. “We have to meet as a wider UDP family… do a proper postmortem of what has happened,” she added.

The party faces significant challenges, not only in rebuilding but also in addressing internal leadership disputes with Barrow’s continued claim to the party’s leadership until “a national convention is held to elect a new leader among those who are qualified to be leader,” he said in his concession address.
