By Horace Palacio: Political dynamics within the United Democratic Party (UDP) have shifted as the Cayo North Committee and its standard bearer, Omar Figueroa, have pledged support for Shyne Barrow and will contest the upcoming elections for the UDP under Barrow’s leadership. This follows a prior alignment with Tracy Panton and the Alliance for Democracy in late 2024.

Barrow shared updates on the meeting, saying, “Great meeting with the next Area Representative for UDP Cayo North, brother Omar and his Executive Committee to plan victory for the General Elections!” The announcement comes as the UDP continues to navigate internal differences.

In addition to this development, Barrow’s legal team recently filed an application for a contempt hearing against Panton. Meanwhile, Panton’s legal case aimed at preventing Barrow from appointing candidates was rejected by the court.

UDP supporters now await the outcome of new requests for court proceedings in what has become an ongoing discussion to address unity and other issues that currently plague the party.
