The United Democratic Party (UDP) has publicly disavowed Moses “Shyne” Barrow, stating in a formal release that he no longer holds any official role within the party and is not authorised to speak or act on its behalf.
The statement makes it clear that Barrow’s use of titles such as “Honourable”, “Leader of the Opposition”, or “Party Leader” is “inaccurate and misleading”, as he currently holds no such positions within the UDP.
“Mr. Barrow is not an official voice or face of the UDP,” the release said. It said that any statements or actions by Barrow should not be viewed as endorsed by the party.
The UDP also said that Barrow is not authorised to represent the Mesopotamia constituency under the party’s banner and asked that any unauthorised actions be reported to the Secretary General.
This statement comes after Barrow said he will remain UDP Party Leader until the upcoming National Convention, saying the party has become “dormant” and lacks unity, direction, and structure.
