By Belize Live News Staff: The People’s United Party has set itself a deadline, and it is the party’s own birthday.
Chairman Henry Charles Usher says the national executive wants all nine municipal slates in place by September 29.
“We know who will be in San Pedro for instance, who will be in Dangriga, who will be the team in Belmopan, in Orange Walk,” Usher said. “These areas already have their slates, they just have not had that swearing process, the endorsement convention as yet.”
Sunday’s Belize City convention at the ITVET compound on Freetown Road is one of the last major pieces. It decides the mayoral candidate and ten councillor candidates for the city.
After that, the calendar takes over.
“September is the month we celebrate Belize, so after September we get into campaign mode and we start to focus towards March of ’27,” Usher said.
That puts the real campaign starting in October, five months out from the municipal elections.
