Tensions escalated at the Progressive Radio station owned by the United Progressive Party (UPP). Once loyal followers of Serpent now voiced their frustrations, declaring him the “biggest traitor.”

Serpent, the owner of now rival Observer Radio, faced accusations of undermining the party he was elected to represent. Supporters expressed disbelief over his inaction against Mr. Knight, a key adversary threatening the UPP’s integrity. They questioned why Serpent allowed opposition rhetoric to flourish without standing up for the party.

Listeners were vocal. One supporter exclaimed, “We built this party over years! Mr. Knight is tearing it down, and Serpent just watches!” Many felt betrayed, believing Serpent would protect their vision. Instead, he seemed complicit in the turmoil that Mr. Knight was creating.

As frustration mounted, supporters began to strategize public confrontations with Serpent. “We won’t sit back while our hard work crumbles,” one declared. A movement emerged, demanding accountability for Serpent’s perceived betrayal.

The UPP is at a critical crossroads. Could Serpent reclaim the trust of his supporters or remain a contentious figure accused of betrayal. The answer would define the UPP’s path forward.
