Tracy Panton and Moses Barrow Fight for UDP Leadership

While Moses Barrow maintains that the event hosted on Sunday by the Tracy Panton-led Alliance for Democracy was not a legitimate U.D.P. convention, the alliance is standing firm. In a press release issued today by Panton under the U.D.P. banner, she declared that Barrow is no longer serving as the party leader, effective immediately. During the press conference hosted earlier by former U.D.P. Minister Anthony “Boots” Martinez, he said that Panton is the interim party leader until another convention is held to elect a new leader since Barrow was recalled on Sunday.
