Mansoor Was Dissatisfied with the Leadership of UPP
Mansoor’s Resignation Letter dated August 25, 2024
Dear Senator Nicholas,
I joined the United Progressive Party in May, 1994. For over 30 years, I have served the Party diligently and staunchly in several capacities at the branch level, at the level of the Central Executive, and as a senior strategist and senior member of the Campaign Management Committee for every general election since the 2004 general elections.
At this time, the Party is deeply divided, and the current Chairperson, the current Political Leader and certain members of the Central Executive have completely failed in their utterly important mandate to strategically reposition the Party after losing the 2023 general elections by a mere few votes.
Today, I had the opportunity to discuss the division in the Party and the sequel of the escalating disunity with the distinguished former Prime Minister and former Political Leader, Baldwin Spencer and with the distinguished former Political Leader, Harold Lovell as well as with senior personnel in the Party. I am extremely grateful to these persons for permitting me to talk through the abundant complications that have arisen recently within the Party; many of these challenges have significantly impacted the Party’s political growth.
Given the high level of dissension and disunity, and given the complete failure of the current leadership to discharge their duties to strengthen the Party and all its units, and given my complete loss of confidence in the current leadership of the Party, I am resigning from the Party with immediate effect.
Sincerely,
Dr. Edmond Mansoor
