So, while this matter may well be headed for the courts, Peyrefitte denied the obvious and maintained that they had lost no ground.
We asked him who will carry the color red at the next election.

"What you call the fake or imposter UDP now has an even stronger hold on its claim to legitimacy by occupying the headquarters. out of which the Guardian newspaper, wave Radio the Secretariat emanates. Hear me out. How will the elections and boundaries department treat with this when it comes down to nomination day, both of you all are claiming the color red."
Michael Peyrefitte, UDP Chairman
"No, sir. The elections and boundaries commission has made it very clear that there is only one UDP and they recognize Shyne Barrow as the leader of that UDP. So any other person who Shyne and the UDP will present to the Elections and Boundaries, our candidates, Anybody not presented by us would have to use orange or green or something like that. So I don't know. And I completely disagree with your assessment that there's two UDP's, there's one UDP. And I completely disagree with your assessment that their hold of a building makes their position stronger. It doesn't! Imagine how embarrassing and how comical and how crazy this is. You claim that a particular person is your first deputy leader, and you put a picture of him in the building yesterday, but yet this same first deputy leader would die before signing for you to become leader of the opposition. What does that say? It makes me wonder if these people are operating full hundred. I mean, come on, it's mad, it's madness. I don't understand that."
