By Belize Live News Staff: People’s United Party (PUP) candidate Anthony Mahler has been declared the winner of the Pickstock constituency after running unopposed in the upcoming general elections.
Mahler’s victory comes after United Democratic Party (UDP) candidate Dean Samuels did not file his nomination papers, resulting in no opposition contenders for the seat. With no candidates from Tracy Panton’s Alliance for Democracy (AFD) or independent candidates, Mahler secured the seat without contest.
Following the announcement, Mahler expressed his gratitude to the residents of Pickstock, emphasizing that his unopposed victory does not diminish his commitment to serving the community. “Although I have won unopposed, I do not take this responsibility for granted. This seat is not just an office; it is a profound trust that you have placed in me,” Mahler stated.
He pledged to continue working toward improving the lives of his constituents. “Together, we will continue to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Pickstock,” he said, highlighting his dedication to addressing the community’s needs.
Mahler also urged his supporters to extend their backing to other PUP candidates in the upcoming general elections, encouraging unity and collective action to secure victories across Belize. “Now let us move forward and help our other PUP brothers and sisters to win in their constituencies on March 12,” Mahler concluded, calling for a shared commitment to the party’s vision of a brighter future.
