The UDP has been in damage control mode since late yesterday when two of its Punta Gorda Town Councillors resigned. They are Deputy Mayor, Franklin "Kranka" Polonio and councillor Kevin Choc. They resigned less than a year after being elected citing frustrations with the mayor Ashton McKenzie and the operations of the council. Now, a resignation would normally trigger a by-election, and that's why the UDP muscle has stepped in to convince the first term councillors that resignation is not such a good idea.
And, the news tonight is that they have reportedly rescinded those resignations. The UDP Secretariat tells us that these rescissions will be presented tomorrow morning at a meeting of the council to air things out. The UDP secretary general and others in the party have assured us that there are differences which the party chairman is going to PG tomorrow to work out.
We'll tell you how it goes. We do know that there have been divisions within UDP camps in PG after the recent standard bearer convention.
