Belize: Patrick Faber to remain Leader of Opposition

Belize: The United Democratic Party, for an avoidance of doubt, unequivocally stated that Party Leader, Patrick Faber would remain Leader of the Opposition in Parliament of Belize. "There is absolutely no indication that a majority of elected UDP parliamentarians would support any motion of no confidence against Patrick Faber," a statement issued by UDP read.

Any expression of concern by an individual UDP parliamentarian with the party’s leadership would be an internal matter and would be addressed accordingly, they said.

Earlier, Party Chief Whip Moses Shyne Barrow said along with him other parliamentarians supported Albert constituency representative Tracy Taegar-Panton to lead them in the house of representatives which Patrick Faber was leading; however, she has denied this fact.

She made a statement refusing all these allegations and said, “I, Tracy Panton, wish to make it clear that I do not associate myself with the statement of the Shyne Barrow, placed on social media.” She added that regarding the lack of confidence in the UDP party leader, Patrick Faber as the opposition leader in the Parliament, this is an opportunity for the UDP to unite, heal and rebuild.
