Cyril Uruwei Enters Political Fray in Dangriga as a P.U.P. Hopeful  

Belizean music promoter Cyril Uruwei is entering the political arena and intends to challenge incumbent Area Representative Doctor Louis Zabaneh in the Dangriga constituency.  Shortly before noon today, Uruwei made his way over to the People’s United Party’s headquarters at Independence Hall where he submitted an application to run against Doctor Zabaneh in that division.  According to Uruwei, his foray into electoral politics is the result of a lack of development in his hometown.

 

Cyril Uruwei, Aspiring Candidate, P.U.P.

“I was born and raised in Dangriga.  I’ve never really thought about going, getting into politics, especially at this level, but Dangriga has been downtrodden for too, too long.  There are so many things that we need that we haven’t been getting.  We have so many talented youths, we have Hubee, we have Supa G.  Most of the ones that make it out of Dangriga da outta dehn own mind, outta dehn own creativity.  If we have more opportunities, if we have our representative going to speak for us and ask for us, on our behalf, we can do a lot more in Dangriga.  So, I have experienced firsthand the current area rep and I am dissatisfied, Dangriga is dissatisfied, so that’s what moved me to come to this juncture.”

“You have submitted an application to run in a convention against Dr. Louis Zabaneh.  Talk to us about the confidence that you have in this particular political endeavor.”

“I am self-made, self-made.  Ever since high school and, for the record, the farthest education I have is high school.  I have spent all my life in self-development. I’m a digital marketer, I’m a five-hundred hours certified yoga teacher, I am well read and I love people and love Dangriga.  I have a passion for my people, for my culture and I don’t see that in Louis [Zabaneh].”
