A release from that group, quote, "strongly condemns the arbitrary and unconstitutional appointment of 3 new Standard Bearers for the United Democratic Party in Belize City without the approval of the National Party Council.

It is noteworthy that members of the Executive Committees for the respective divisions were not consulted in this process which is also a flagrant breach of the Party's institutional arrangements." End quote.
