The party in a press release stated that the tour has been postponed until further notice due to a request and non issuance of permit by the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
In relation to the UDP press statement, a senior government official has informed The Point that the police have advised UDP to delay its tour to “avoid parallel tour for security reason”.
The Party's dispatch reads below:
