Allan Pollard Jr. Returns to City Hall as Deputy Mayor

There was a vote earlier today to choose a deputy mayor from among members of the newly sworn in Belize City Council.  Viewers would recall that Mayor Bernard Wagner went on record immediately following the municipal elections victory on March sixth to suggest that CitCo would do well with a female deputy mayor at his side.  When the council met at City Hall today, a vote was taken and seven of the ten councilors voted in favor of Allan Pollard Jr. to return as second in command of the Belize City Council.  Pollard went up against Kaya Cattouse who garnered three of the remaining votes.  We understand that Mayor Wagner, who Pollard attempted to run against for head of the municipal government, abstained from the exercise.
