By Belize Live News Staff: After weeks of speculation, Prime Minister John Briceno is expected to officially announce the date for the general elections on Tuesday, February 11. With both the House of Representatives and the Senate completing their legislative agenda, the stage is now set for the dissolution of parliament and the issuing of a writ of election.
While the official date remains unconfirmed, sources suggest that March 12, 2025, could be when Belizeans head to the polls. However, this remains speculative until the Prime Minister makes his formal announcement during a live-streamed address today.

Political analysts predict that the upcoming elections will be closely contested, with both the ruling People’s United Party (PUP) and the opposition United Democratic Party (UDP) expected to ramp up their campaigns once the date is officially confirmed.
As Belizeans eagerly wait for the Prime Minister’s official declaration, parties are already mobilizing their supporters in preparation for what is expected to be a highly charged political season. The country now stands on the verge of an election cycle, with today’s announcement setting the wheels in motion for the next phase of Belize’s democracy.
