Will Saldivar Relinquish Post as Coordinator Within the U.D.P.?

Affording the beleaguered politician an opportunity at due process is something that Shyne Barrow says he had to support since he, too, sees the importance in offering a fair chance at redemption.

Shyne Barrow, Party Leader, U.D.P.

“I was wholeheartedly behind this opportunity for redemption and it didn’t work out.  [It was] not my fault, not anyone’s fault.  The reality is the reality.  We have now a situation where there is a designation by the United States Department [of State].  There is a criminal investigation by the Commissioner of Police.  It is just too much for the party to continue to carry.  We have carried it, I have carried it.  I have done my best to masterfully re-image it, reposition it and I have to accept when the end of that road has come.”

“And so immediately, he must relinquish the chairmanship of the Western Caucus? He is the coordinator for the Western Region of for the party, right? So he immediately relinquishes that after this decision?”

 

Shyne Barrow

“We will have an NPC, I believe within the next seven days, and allow the matter to have its final stop at the NPC.  But I am asking, I have asked him, I have pleaded with him to stand down.  That was my appeal to him.”
