PUP: Newly elected Mayors banned from contesting for Standard Bearers

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: The People’s United Party (PUP) has officially announced that applications are open for those wishing to represent the party as Standard Bearer in the next general elections.

Since then, many contenders for numerous divisions across the country have expressed their interest in running for the General Elections.

While the party is yet to vet candidates and announce conventions, the political landscape is heating up.

Mayor Wally Nunez had publicly expressed his interest in the Belize Rural South Seat.

However, a leaked message indicates that the PUP’s National Executive has decided that recently elected Mayors will not be allowed to contest as Standard Bearers.

“The National Executive has decided that none of our recently elected Mayors will be able to participate in any contested convention for Standard Bearer. Any of our Mayors will only be able to participate in an endorsement convention. If there are other applicants in any of the constituencies where you apply you will be immediately disapproved. Kindly take note,” the message said.

Nunez’ supporters are reasonably disappointed in the party’s announcement.
