P.U.P. Politics Heats Up in Corozal Bay

Things are heating up in the Corozal Bay constituency for the People’s United Party. Viewers may recall that back in November 2020, the late David “Dido” Vega was elected to the seat for the People’s United Party. Following his passing, his sister, Elvia Vega-Samos, was elected in a by-election to succeed her brother. But, with the 2025 general elections coming up the People’s United Party has made a call for applications from interested candidates. One such individual is the Chair of the P.U.P. Northern Caucus, Thea Garcia-Ramirez. She has thrown her hat in the ring for the constituency, though the People’s United Party is yet to indicate whether a convention will be held in that area. There are reports, however, that tensions are high between supporters of the sitting area representative and Garcia’s camp. We asked the Corozal Southeast Area Representative, Florencio Marin Junior, about those reports today. He gave a brief response.

“The party has a democratic process. Right now we are still in the period where the deadline for all applications is on May twenty-fourth. So when that time finishes we will be able to know for sure what will happen in the Corozal Bay division.”
