By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Alberto August says that there is only one UDP and as such there cannot be a UDP convention next month as called for by the Tracy Taegar-Panton led Alliance for Democracy.

August says that the party was engaged in a mediation with members of the Alliance for Democracy but that didn’t work.

“We have tried mediation with a team that Mr. Garbutt headed. We have tried negotiation and now we are at the point where we are at expulsion. The official document out of the UDP is that these individuals have been expelled from the party,” August said on News 5 Belize.

“They are calling this convention on the 20 of October, I think, in Bird’s Isle. With no locus standi in the UDP, I mean they cannot be calling a UDP convention because there cannot be two UDP. We cannot be operating parallell. So, while they may be calling that, there’s only one UDP. So, I don’t know what kind of convention they would be having, unfortunately,” August added.

August further stated that the expelled members of the UDP are in a “precarious position.”
