Beverly Williams Replaced in Senate  

As you saw in the story, one of the persons who boycotted the U.D.P.’s National Party Council meeting was Beverly Williams, the party’s standard bearer for  Belize Rural Central. She was also a U.D.P. senator. We say “was” because Opposition Leader Moses “Shyne” Barrow has replaced her. In a letter dated March twenty-fifth, Opposition Leader Moses Barrow informed Governor General Dame Froyla Tzalam of the appointment of Mark O’Brian as U.D.P. senator. The letter says, in part “I write to you on this occasion…to declare the seat of Senator Beverly Williams vacant… I hereby nominate Mister Mark O’Brian to fill the seat left vacant by Beverly Williams.”
