San Pedro Town is Blue after 18 Years!
It took the People’s United Party eighteen years to regain municipal government control in San Pedro. But it did so in convincing fashion on Wednesday, snagging all six councilor seats and the mayoral position as well. Although many thought it would be a nail-biting neck and neck finish, with perhaps even a split council, the P.U.P. proved that it was the residents’ favourite party. This comes off the heels of the November eleventh victory when Andre Perez also overwhelmingly beat his U.D.P. predecessor, Manuel Heredia Junior for the Belize Rural South seat in central government. Election correspondent Marion Ali covered the elections for us from the polls opened until the last vote was counted. Reporter Andrea Polanco brings us that story tonight.
