 The expulsion of Olympio was apparently not accepted by the whole party, as the UFC website remained under the control of Olympio loyalists.In a statement on 29 May, the website derided Fabre and his supporters; it said that Fabre was not the "elected President" and that he did not control the UFC.According to the statement, it was impossible to expel the party's founder-president, who had been re-elected to his post as recently as July 2008, without holding an extraordinary congress to approve such a weighty decision.
