U.D.P.’s Alliance for Democracy Opens HQ in Mesopotamia

The United Democratic Party’s Alliance for Democracy faction, led by Tracy Taegar-Panton, has just set up a new headquarters on Euphrates Avenue, right in the heart of Mesopotamia Area Representative Shyne Barrow’s territory. This faction has been clashing with the Leader of the Opposition in a fiery dispute that has even reached the High Court. We’ve learned that the building they’re using belongs to businessman and U.D.P. stalwart Lee Mark Chang. Interestingly, Chang, who owns Chon Saan Palace, is gearing up to challenge Barrow in that constituency. On Tuesday, Taegar-Panton opened up about why the alliance is so firmly against Shyne Barrow’s leadership. She didn’t hold back in explaining their strong opposition.

“What we are trying to defend is our democracy, our right to have a voice, our right to have a say, our right for our voices to be heard, internally and externally.  That does not constitute a third party, and we have never suggested that we were forming a third party.  We maintain and we will continue to maintain that we are members of the United Democratic Party.”
