Andre Perez is Not Worried about Redistricting

The redistricting exercise, when it does take place, will mean that some constituencies will become smaller and some larger in number of voters. The Belize Rural South division, which comprises San Pedro and Caye Caulker, is the fifth largest in the country. That constituency will likely be redrawn, making it smaller in size.  Today Area Representative Andre Perez told us that he is unbothered by the possibility of redistricting.

“If the redistricting readjusts the size of your constituency, are you concerned about it? And how?”

 

Andre Perez, Area Representative, Belize Rural South

“Listen, we cannot be – I’m not concerned about redistricting. Honestly, I do know that I’m a very large – I’m the third largest constituency. I wouldn’t say me –  Belize Rural South is the third largest [with] just over 10,000 registered voters. I’d say, so when it comes to redistricting, I understand it needs to be it to be divided up in the right way. And when the time comes for that, I’m prepared. I’m losing no sleep over it.”
