And while he's glad handing with Jamaican parliamentarians - Barrow can hardly get the same form his own UDP area reps.
Tracy Taegar Panton, Patrick Faber, Beverly Williams and John Saldivar lead a group of standard bearers who are demanding a national convention - even as they are being actively ignored by the party chairman, Mike Peyrefitte.
And since their pleas to the Chairman are falling on deaf ears, Panton is going to make her case to the public with a string of morning show appearances. Here's what she said to the hosts on the LOVE FM Morning Show about the state of a. Party she characterized as being held hostage by the current leadership:
Tracy Taegar Panton, UDP Albert Area Rep
"I have tried to call the chairman three times. He has not taken my call. In fact, I thought he was out of the country, but then I saw him at the event yesterday, the music project launch, so he is in country. He has just chosen not to respond and that is wholly, wholly unacceptable."
"The democracy in the UDP has been compromised."
"No, it is not acceptable, we cannot have it, and we are going to continue to do everything within our power."
"We will take whatever steps we need to take. We're in consultation right now with a few attorneys if we need to…you know this is unprecedented for the UDP."
Panton appears on Sunup On 7 next week.
