The Good Ol' UDP Hug-Up For Saldivar and Faber
posted (July 15, 2020)
Since Sunday's election of Patrick Faber as the leader elect of the UDP, there have been persistent rumours of cabals and conspirators plotting to de-stabilize the Barrow cabinet and up-end the UDP.

And while two incumbent area reps have announced that they will not run again as a direct consequence of Faber's election - it doesn't appear that the convention casualties will go much further than that.

And that's because, by all outward appearances, debated candidate for leader, John Saldivar is showing that he is on-side with the Faber leadership. He pledged his support in a Monday Facebook post and the two met today in Belmopan at Faber's office.

A release from the UDP says, quote, "The meeting went extremely well and both emerged committed to working together to bring victory for the UDP in the upcoming elections. Both Party Leader-Elect Faber and Hon. Saldivar call on all colleagues and faithful party supporters to join as we embark on the journey to a historic fourth term for the UDP."
