Petition Filed to Recall UDP Leader Moses Shyne Barrow

This afternoon, Tracy Panton and Beverly Williams submitted a petition to the Secretary General of the United Democratic Party (UDP), calling for the recall of the United Democratic Party Leader, Moses Shyne Barrow. A statement from the Alliance for Democracy says that the petition has been signed by 208 delegates from 17 constituencies.

The statement also says that according to Article 9(7) of the UDP Constitution, the Party Leader can be removed from office at any time if a petition is signed by at least one-third of the registered delegates of the National Convention and if at least two-thirds of the registered delegates in attendance vote in favour of the petition.

The Alliance for Democracy says it is confident that the Party Chairman has no discretion to reject this petition. The Alliance says the Constitution states that the removal of the Party Leader can occur at any time.

The petition to recall Barrow stems from significant internal divisions within the party. Key figures, including Panton, Williams, and former leaders Patrick Faber and John Saldivar, have expressed dissatisfaction with Barrow’s leadership. 

A meeting of UDP standard bearers in Orange Walk focused on “general reform” and highlighted the growing support for Panton as a potential new leader.

The removal of Andrew Bradley as the Caribbean Shores Standard Bearer under Barrow’s leadership has further fueled discontent.
