By Belize Live News Staff: In a bold and defiant social media post today, Patrick Faber, the former leader of the United Democratic Party (UDP) and the longest-serving member of parliament, addressed ongoing rumors and speculations surrounding his status within the party. Faber, who has held numerous high-ranking positions within the UDP, including Deputy Prime Minister, Deputy Party Leader, and Party Chairman, responded to what he described as attempts to force him out of the party.
“The longest serving member of parliament, former chairman, deputy party leader/deputy PM and former party leader… do you really think you can constructively resign me? LMAO!!” Faber posted on his social media account, highlighting his extensive service and leadership within the UDP.

His refusal to be “constructively resigned” suggests that Faber is prepared to fight for his place within the party, despite any efforts to sideline him.
The reaction on social media has been mixed, with some supporters rallying behind Faber’s assertive declaration, while others express concern over the increasing infighting within the UDP.As the UDP navigates through this period of turbulence, all eyes will be on Faber and the party’s leadership to see how they address the internal divisions that have surfaced. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are anticipated as the UDP approaches its next major political test.
