And if all that wasn't bad enough for Belize's Grand Old Party reduced now to a leader-less band, one more lesser blow came this morning.
Yolanda Schackron who intended to run for mayor - has formally withdrawn her candidacy.
She wrote a short letter to the party which states no reason for her withdrawal, thanks the PUP and wishes the other candidates well.
Sources close to Shackron suggest that the withdrawal of this high profile candidate is related to the PUP's leadership woes, since it is known she was a favourite of the past leader, Briceno.
And while her stepping out is nothing in the order of Espat's refusal to run or Briceno's stepping down as parliamentary leader, coming all in the same morning, it makes it, legitimately, The PUP's Terrible Tuesday.
