Barrow Says Elodio Aragon to Switch Sides from Alliance

Barrow’s United Democratic Party is gearing up for the general elections by fielding candidates in all thirty-one constituencies. Some of these candidates have already been revealed. As we reported last week, Doctor Omar Figueroa is back in the race under Barrow’s leadership. Today, Barrow announced that Elodio Aragon Junior also intends to return. Once confirmed, the full slate of thirty-one candidates will be unveiled.

“We have thirty-one candidates, but we will be introducing our thirty-one candidates in the next week or so. To be quite transparent I have been in discussion with Elodio Aragon. We are going to finalize whether his return or not, this week, and we will introduce our thirty-one candidates. The UDP is focused on bringing together, ensuring that we have everyone on board and keeping the room for reconciliation to those that wish to return. Mr. Elodio Aragon has indicated that he was looking at returning to the UDP. So we will give him  few more days and the move forward. We are confident that in each constituency the UDP has viable candidates, some has a greater chance than others. Let us be fair. It is quite the hurdle in Lake I, in places like Pickstock in Orange Walk Central, but we will fight nonetheless. I am so proud and grateful to have a candidate like Yara Caal. A lifelong educator, a former council candidate that serve her community. There are other candidate in constituencies, such a s Cayo Central, Balona gwen home, Micho Chebat going home, Espat going home. A lot of them are going home but they are banking on the distractions and diversions. But we feel very different and the people on the ground know what they have to do and are doing.”

“Mr. Perrera left the KHMH embroiled in controversy. Ms. Perades who you now have in Collet she is on social media supporting the PUP in October 2020, right before the general election. She posted a post supporting the PUP. She was also a member of Saldivar’s camp?”

“So what is wrong with that? Tracy Panton was a member of the PUP. I can send you the video of her declaring she is a member of the Mark Espat camp. So she cant go from PUP to UDP?”
