Who will be the next Deputy Party Leader of the UDP? That is the question on everyone's mind after Gaspar Vega resigned a week ago. As we have reported,
one of the reasons Vega stepped down is because he felt disrespected after he was stripped as the Minister of Natural Resources. Now regardless of the
chatter or speculation surrounding Vega's abrupt decision, the reality is: Vega is gone and a new Deputy Party leader will be elected. Today at another
event we spoke with aspiring Deputy Party Leader/DPL Patrick Faber and he said the same thing – sure Vega will be missed but the party must move on.
Hon. Patrick Faber - Minister of Education
"The intention of Mr. Vega to say that he is not any longer pursuing the first deputy leadership position did catch us a bit by surprise; but as you
know we're a mass party, we are the most successful party in this country since certainly Independence and so we continue. We're not short of leaders
in our party contrary to what the opposition might want to tell you and so where Mr. Vega puts it down there's other of us who want to pick it up."
