He Tried To Recall Shyne, But Now Supports Him
Fri, September 6, 2024
And so while Alberto August is watching his party Leader Shyne Barrow's back - wasn't he the same one leading the charge along with Patrick Faber to recall and replace Barrow two years ago?

We asked him about that reversal:

Jules Vasquez
"Now, your case is unusual, Mr. Deputy Chairman, because the last time you tried recalled against Shyne Barrow, a failed recall, you are the one who took in the recall motion. You are the one when the Chairman Mike Peyrefitte struck off all those names."

"You had the press conference to say that he was acting, his strike -offs were not optimal. How do you end up now being a defender of the man you tried to recall, Shyne Barrow?"

Alberto August, UDP Deputy Chairman
"Yeah, you're right. I led the charge two years ago for the replacement to recall the party leader at that time."

"Time has passed. I have seen where the party leader has grown to be a different person. I have seen where he has grown to the extent of even being accommodating in some instances where I might not be."

"This is not the time for our party a few months before general elections to be going down that road. The general consensus of the membership of the party is for us to go with the leader that we have, and after we emerge from those elections, however they turn out, then we can concentrate in that regard, but this is certainly not the time for that."
