“If the prime minister was to call the election tomorrow with a thirty-day window for campaigning and getting your act together, in a manner of speaking.  How prepared are you and the United Democratic Party?”

 

Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition

“We have been campaigning and we are prepared.  We have intensified our campaign in recent months and weeks, and we continue to intensify, and we are ready to go. As I said, we have some remarkable candidates and even the new candidates that have come on board are all formidable and David Almendarez has been doing tremendous groundwork.  He lives in Belize Rural Central, unlike some candidates that don’t live in the constituency.  So our people are hitting the ground and that is a part of the regional meetings that we have been having.  I’ve been on this party leader tour of sorts to meet with the regional standard bearers to ensure that they are ready and we are doing that.  If the elections are called tomorrow, we’ll be ready for those thirty days.”
