UDP Power Struggle Continues: Hugo Patt Orders Boycott of June 14 NPC Meeting

Hugo Patt, interim Party Leader of the United Democratic Party (UDP), is calling on all UDP delegates to boycott an National Party Council meeting scheduled for Saturday.

According to Patt, the meeting, summoned by Acting Party Chairman Alberto August, is being held against his directive and without proper consultation.

Patt revealed that he had formally instructed August to postpone the meeting to allow time for a joint review of the delegate list. However, August refused. As a result, Patt is urging all UDP members to boycott what he calls a “purported meeting” and instead wait for a properly convened session.

“For the sake of democracy and in the best interest of our beloved party, DO NOT attend the purported meeting,” Patt stated.

He also called on members across the country to rally behind their constituency organizations and support his stance. Patt assured members that steps will be taken to reschedule a legitimate NPC meeting “at the earliest opportunity.”
