By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: UDP Leader Shyne Barrow explained today that decision on the UDP’s conventions were taken at the last national convention.
Barrow told News 5 that the discussions on moving the party forward, and unifying the party, and having stability included decisions taken at the last national convention.
“When I talked to my colleagues and we talked about moving the party forward, and unifying the party, and having stability, and having certitude going forward, this is what we discussed. And initially, the matter was raised by the N.P.C. and there are certain colleagues who sit at the head table now, against me, who said, “No, the N.P.C. cannot make this determination because if the N.P.C. makes this determination, then the N.P.C. could come right back and change it. This needs to go to the national convention, it needs to be voted on and once that vote is taken nothing can reverse that,” Barrow said.
Barrow added that “petitioners do not have the right to petition a national convention because we, the national convention, 521 of the delegates, from all 31 constituencies decided that we would not do that.”
In addition, Barrow stated that the request made by the expelled UDP members was to move the entire leadership executive including the Party chairman and deputy chair.
“And in order to show how serious we were about protecting the institution from anarchy and tyranny we went further and put a motion to say, “Listen, no more national conventions, no more leadership questions until after the next general elections and that’s all the party chairman is doing,” Barrow said.
