Dean Barrow, following the landslide defeat in March of 2003 of the United Democratic Party (UDP) he was leading, attempted to resign the leadership he had inherited from Dr. Manuel Esquivel following the UDP's massive defeat in the August 1998 general election. The leaders of the UDP unanimously rejected...
