The UDP Set to Announce the Opposition Senators

The Opposition Party is set to announce its senators, with reports confirming that long-time United Democratic Party (UDP) member Patrick Faber will be named the lead senator.

Faber served as the area representative for Collet for 22 years before his surprising defeat in the 2025 general election.

Meanwhile, the Opposition is looking for two other senators.

As previously reported, Prime Minister John Briceño also announced the appointment of six new government senators, pending approval from Governor-General Dame Froyla Tzalam. The appointees are Eamon Courtenay, SC, Christopher Coye, Linsford Castillo, Rozel Arana, Brittney Galvez, and Hector Guerra.

According to a government press release, these new senators are expected to be sworn in at the inaugural Senate sitting, with the date to be confirmed.
