David Castillo, P.U.P. Standard Bearer, Corozal North

“We almost had one thousand, five hundred voters turn out yesterday.  There was a while when it was raining very hard, you know, if not we would have probably had more people coming out because we just had a previous convention last year whereby we had like one thousand, seven people coming out.  That convention was to elect a chairman of the P.U.P. executive.  Yesterday was for a standard bearer.  But, in general, the turnout was good, it was satisfactory and yes, I got the support of the people.  The people, basically gave me that support yesterday to continue the good work. We will ensure that we continue to roll out Plan Belize.  As you know, Plan Belize has benefited the country of Belize.  Basically, Plan Belize has restored the Belizean economy by our good Prime Minister, Honorable John Briceño and his cabinet, they have restored the economy and that is a major area that the party has concentrated in.  But there’s a lot to Plan Belize and we will ensure that Corozal North benefits from the plan of the People’s United Party and at the end of the day it will be beneficial to the people of Corozal North.  So that is our major plan for Corozal North.”
