And while the ruling UDP tries to remain in control of the political timeline - the movements by social partners could create some discomfort in Belmopan. That would accelerate the timeline for finding a new leader, and, quietly, we are told Patrick Faber has been canvassing support of colleagues he has alienated in the past.
Yesterday, Tracey Taegar Panton told us Faber called her - and so did Boots Martinez. He says the UDP has got go through a new convention process:..
Hon. Anthony "Boots" Martinez - UDP Port Loyola Area Rep
"We have to have a convention you know. United Democratic Party have to have a next convention for the leadership of the party, whether it is an endorsement or whether it is voting convention. Which might mean that Minister Faber have a right to put in his name. I have spoken to Minister Faber on Wednesday. We had a good conversation but in my view at that time, he had no indication, at least what he said to me. He said he hasn't even though hard about it. If he even would be asked to do it. I don’t want to jump the gun. We will wait and see."
