Cayo North Switches Loyalty Back To Shyne?
posted (January 24, 2025)
And, in UDP news, there's more bickering to report, except this time it's going to court. Last week, the attorney for Shyne Barrow made an application to have an urgent hearing for contempt against Tracy Panton. The judge has agreed to hear it and has told the attorneys for both sides to agree on a date.

This is the week's second legal announcement from the very litigious party. Earlier this week, Tracy Panton announced that her faction of the UDP will be filing suit to prevent Shyne Barrow's faction from appointing candidates to run against those she deems to be duly elected, and endorsed standard bearers of the UDP.

In other news, Panton may have lost one more key ally. Shyne Barrow has circulated pictures of him meeting with the Cayo North Committee and its standard bearer Omar Figueroa. That group had switched allegiance to Panton's camp at the end of October.

But. Last night Shyne Barrow issued a statement saying, he'd had, quote, "(a) Great meeting with the next Area Representative for UDP Cayo North, brother Omar and his Executive Committee to plan victory for the General Elections!"
