Initially, Sean Bird was also slated for replacement by Ashworth Azille, but following his recent public declaration of intent to leave the UPP peacefully, the leadership is now awaiting his formal resignation. As a matter of fact, top leader of the party such as Giselle, Chaku and Justin Simon continue to refer to Sean Bird as a \u201cABLP flip-flopper\u201d, while also hinting that \u201cno Bird labourite is welcomed in any leadership role in the UPP\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Algernon Serpent Watts, meanwhile, will be tactically ignored in an effort to retain the support of the Observer media network, though there are internal beliefs that Serpent will ultimately lose his seat due to electoral dynamics.
