UDP Demands Redistricting Before General Elections

The United Democratic Party (UDP) is calling for a fair and meaningful redistricting process to be completed before the next general election. In a statement issued Monday, the opposition party criticized the Briceño administration, accusing it of politicizing the redistricting task force and failing to uphold its commitment to the High Court.

According to the UDP, the process was compromised from the start due to partisan influence, missed deadlines, lack of transparency, and high-level resignations. The party specifically accused PUP ministers of attempting to manipulate the exercise to benefit key government figures.

The UDP has joined forces with the Belize Peace Movement and activists Jeremy Enriquez, Rudolph Norales, and Jessica Tulcey, calling on civil society and democracy advocates to demand that the government fulfill its promise of completing redistricting before the election.

“We implore all democratic allies of Belize, civil society, social activists and guardians of democracy everywhere to join in this fight. Equal representation matters in our sacred Democracy.”
