Shyne Barrow - he may have lost the election war but he's still fighting the UDP leadership battle. Late yesterday evening he issued a press release stating that after speaking to many members of the UDP, and after witnessing the dormancy of the party, he had decided to rescind his resignation. That's right, he has reclaimed the leadership he had already resigned from, stating that there has been quote, "no attempt at unity, no compliance with the Party Constitution, no adherence to procedures and structures of the Party, no vision or resources to take the Party forward." End quote. He says that he will remain in this post until the next national convention, which is to be scheduled later this year.
He emphasizes in the release that it was members of the party who have been asking him to return as leader.
However, another release came from the UDP HQ on Euphrates Avenue. This is from the recently elected Tracy Panton and her supporters. That release advised the public that Barrow is, quote, "not authorized to act, speak, or conduct any business on behalf of the party in any official capacity. Mr. Barrow no longer holds any leadership or executive role within the UDP. Any reference by him to the titles "Honourable," "Leader of the Opposition," or "Party Leader" is inaccurate and misleading." End quote.
They also added that Barrow is not authorized to solicit or accept donations on behalf of the UDP or act as a representative of Mesopotamia.
We note that Panton has been endorsed as leader by the other four elected members of the UDP.
