And while Heredia dealt with that issue quite straightforwardly - when it came to the matter of who he would back for the new leader of the UDP,   Patrick Faber or John Saldivar, he was very cagey on that one:

"Mr. Faber or Mr. Saldivar for leadership? We know that the convention is due in about six months."

Hon. Manuel Heredia - Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation
 "I believe that we are Democratic country I personally do not believe in conventions I have to be very, very clear and I am thankful that the young guy that is challenging my cousin has withdrawn his candidacy and for the interest of our party for the interest of I believe all of us in the UDP particularly Belize rural south. I believe that if there is a formula to sit down together iron out what is the way forward that is the way it’s supposed to be. If a convention is needed to let it be, I believe that at the end of the day both of them to me are exceptional intelligent young guys. I believe they have a bright future but let us see at the end of the day on the 8th of February, who is the one that is more liked, no."

It is widely known that Heredia supports Patrick Faber.
