John Saldivar No Longer U.D.P.’s Regional Leader

Things are getting tense in the United Democratic Party. As we reported earlier this week, a meeting consisting of eighteen ‘anti-Shyne’ U.D.P. standards bearers met in Orange Walk to discuss ‘general reform’. The party leader, Moses Barrow, has described such a meeting as ‘phantom’. But, the threat to his leadership within the party is real. Albert Area Representative, Tracy Panton, is emerging as Barrow’s contender. And, her supporters are not afraid of showing it. Several prominent U.D.P. figures, including Patrick Faber, and Beverly Williams, took to Facebook to pledge their support for Panton, using the phrase “I am with her.” Along with them was John Saldivar, who is no longer the party’s regional leader for the west. Barrow says that Saldivar was ousted. However, sources say that Saldivar smelled the rat from a mile away and resigned before he was replaced for supporting Panton. Omar Figueroa is the new regional leader for the west for the U.D.P.
