Opposition Leader Confirms “Yellowman’s” Termination

Leader of the Opposition, Moses “Shyne” Barrow, confirmed today that the U.D.P.’s secretariat has terminated Brian “Yellowman” Audinett from the party. Audinett ran as a U.D.P. councillor candidate on March sixth in Belize City. Only two weeks later, news of his termination surfaced. Now, Barrow did not want to discuss the grounds of his termination or the details of the Deed of Settlement that he reportedly requested Audinett sign. However, News Five understands that Audinett made serious allegations against the party leader, which he placed in writing and addressed to the party’s chairman. When we raised it with Barrow, he threatened to sue.
