By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Following the landslide victory in Toledo East for the People’s United Party (PUP), there has been much speculation on early general elections.
During an interview with 7News Belize, Prime Minister John Briceño said that there will be no early elections this year.
“I said, 2024, we have January to November, we actually have until 2026, so I can tell you it will not be in 2024,” the Prime Minister said.
“If we want to be just cold and calculating and callous about just getting reelected, we could call an election right now and the leader, Mr Barrow has hardly any support in the party and even the people that, the influentials in the country are not supporting him, the leadership of his party are not supporting him so there’s no reason why we should not but the most important thing for us is that we were elected to serve the people and we still have a lot of work to do ahead of us, Plan Belize is a very ambitious plan that we presented and we have not fulfilled everything,” the Prime Minister added.
In addition, PM Briceño said that Plan Belize is about getting the work done.
“We need to continue to work to be able to do that so it’s not only about politics but about getting the work of the people done to see how we can get the people of this country out of poverty, to see how we can grow this country sustainably, how we can address the issue of climate change, there’s so many challenges that we’re facing as a country, so no, I will not take advantage of Mr Shyne and his sorrows, we will continue to work,” PM Briceño expressed.
