A Wounded Panton Claims Partial Victory
posted (May 7, 2025)
But, Tracy Panton is still Leader of the Opposition and today she issued a release saying she's "vindicated" and calling for, quote, "Unity, Reform, and Constitutional Respect."

She defends her October 20th "Unity Convention" - saying that she and her supporters were, quote "left with no choice but to act."

The release adds, quote, "The UDP respects the authority of the Court. But we also assert that the democratic principles on which our Party was founded were eroded by a leadership that ignored petitions, suppressed internal dissent, and weaponized party organs against its own members."

The release says that Panton has been in direct contact with Hugo Patt, and, quote, "both leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to resolving this matter in full accordance with the Party's Constitution and in the best interest of our Movement." End quote.

Panton will have a press conference tomorrow.
