U.D.P. Finally Announces New Opposition Senators

The United Democratic Party has announced the appointment of three new opposition senators in the National Assembly. Former Collet Area Representative Patrick Faber is the new Lead Senator for the Opposition. Faber, who was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2003 at age twenty-four, served five consecutive terms for the Collet Division. He is well-known for his long tenure as Minister of Education, Youth, Sports, and Culture, where he led significant reforms in education and youth development. Joining him is attorney Sheena Pitts, who has served as Chairperson of the Labour Complaints Tribunal and Commissioner on the People’s Constitution Commission. She is also the Interim Chair of the U.D.P. Lastly, Gabriel Zetina, a resident of San Pedro who has worked in youth outreach, has been appointed as an opposition parliamentarian. The United Democratic Party believes these appointments reflect a renewed focus on principled leadership, constitutional reform, and people-centered governance. However, Opposition Leader Tracy Taegar-Panton has expressed the need for representation of the south.
