Discord within the UDP: Alliance for Democracy Calls for NPC Meeting

In a recent statement, the Alliance for Democracy issued a reminder to UDP Party Chairman Michael Peyrefitte about the National Party Council (NPC) meeting requested last Monday.

The Alliance says that under Article 7(6) of the UDP Constitution, one-fourth of the NPC membership has the right to call for a meeting. “It is not within the discretion of the Chairman to refuse this request, which should be complied with in a timely manner.”

The Alliance is now awaiting adherence to the Party Constitution.

Tracy Panton of Albert, backed by Patrick Faber, John Saldivar, and Beverly Williams, led an effort to initiate a national convention. However, the petition they submitted was dismissed by Party Chairman Michael Peyrefitte. The Alliance wants Leader Moses Barrow removed.
