Preparing For a Possible Early 2025 General Election
Earlier, we told you that Prime Minister John Briceño may be more inclined to calling an early general election following the overwhelming support that the People’s United Party received in Toledo East. So, what do the P.M.’s Cabinet colleagues think about having an early election at this point? On Wednesday, we asked a couple of them that very question. Henry Charles Usher told us that he remains ready. Jose Abelardo Mai says he still has work that he wants to finish ahead of another election.

“My guess is that we have to continue the work. We will continue on Plan Belize and we will continue to have these victories.”
Paul Lopez
“Would you be ready for a snap election?”
Henry Charles Usher
“We are ready for elections anytime.”
Jose Abelardo Mai, Area Representative, Orange Walk North
“That’s the Prime Minister’s decision. But there is still a lot of work to do. In my area I have major objectives that I need to finish, and I wouldn’t want that they call elections before I can do that. We really need to see the paving of the Guinea Grass Road, the electrification of Indian Church, San Carlos and Fire Burn and the upgrade of those roads. And when that is done the Prime Minister can call the elections. I will be happy with that.”
