U.D.P. OW North Standard Bearer Resigns; Is Gapi Making A Comeback?

Homero Novelo

Dated September ninth, Homero Novelo’s resignation letter is addressed to the U.D.P. Secretary General Pearl Stuart. Novelo tells Stuart, “It has been an enjoyable but though journey from the U.D.P. supporter to Standard Bearer of the party. I have learnt many lessons and made many friends who became my supporters. I don’t want to be counted out for one day I may seek public office again…” Homero also tells Stuart that he is stepping down due to personal reasons. Opposition Leader John Briceño says that Novelo’s departure after a brief stint in the political arena was not a surprise.

“That is no surprise to us. We have been hearing this for months and we know that Homero Novelo and Gaspar Vega did not get along, did not see eye to eye. It seems that Gaspar Vega is still trying to control the levers of power in that division. There is a gentleman that he was thinking of naming as the standard bearer for that division; a gentleman from Douglas and I rather not say any names. But now we are hearing that Gaspar Vega is considering of throwing his hat in the ring to run for the next election. I would be happy if Gaspar Vega would decide to run because I have every confidence that Ramon Cervantes is going to beat anybody including Gaspar Vega should he make the mistake of running in Orange Walk North.”
