BELMOPAN, Belize, Sept 12, CMC – The internal wrangling within the main opposition United Democratic Party (UDP) takes a dramatic twist on Friday when Opposition Leader Moses “Shyne” Barrow moves to inform the Speaker that two members of the opposition are no longer members of the party.
Barrow has written to the Speaker, Valerie Woods, ahead of Friday’s sitting of the Parliament indicating that Patrick Faber and Tracy Panton are no longer members of the UDP and is requesting that she, “declare at the next Sitting of the House of Representatives that Members from Albert and Collet have ceased to be members of the House of Representatives by reason of having been a member of a political party”.
Barrow’s letter also informs the Speaker of the House that Faber and Panton no longer representative of the UDP in Parliament.
