Dolores Balderamos-Garcia on Allegations of Election Fraud 

For the past few weeks we have been reporting on election fraud allegations made by U.D.P. standard bearer for Cayo North, Omar Figueroa. He claims that more than a hundred voter registrations during the transfer period are fraudulent, pointing to unspecified and overcrowded home addresses as evidence. Figueroa, accompanied by the magistrate, visited several of these addresses for further investigation. The magistrate then decided to forward the case to the High Court, leaving no determination yet. So for now, all one hundred and one voter transfers will remain in their original constituencies until a final decision is reached. The transfers were from several constituencies across the country, including Belize Rural Central, which is represented by Dolores Balderamos-Garcia. Today, reporters asked her if she was concerned.

 

Dolores Balderamos, Belize Rural Central Representative

“I will not comment on the politics of it, but I will remind you that I am the duly elected representative, but I am also the standard bearer for the next election. Having gone through an endorsement convention in July. I will give no further comment. You go and look at the numbers and see the amount of work that has been done in Belize Rural Central for the transfers during the transfer period and the ongoing registration of 18 year-olds and new voters. You go and look it up. “
