No Election Date Announcement on Friday 

In a legal exchange dated today, the Attorney General of Belize responded to a pre-action letter sent by Anand Ramlogan SC, representing three individuals—Jeremy Enriquez, Rudolph Norales, and Jessica Tulcey.

The letter sought clarification on whether the Prime Minister would announce the date for the upcoming general election during Parliament’s next sitting, scheduled for this Friday. 

The claimants argue that holding elections with the outdated boundaries would be unconstitutional, as they violate Section 90’s requirement for equal voter distribution across districts.

The Attorney General’s office confirmed that the Prime Minister will not be announcing the election date at that session, nor will he advise the Governor General to dissolve Parliament on that date. This clarification addresses mounting public speculation regarding the election timeline.

The letter also outlined that “Courtenay Coye LLP is authorised to accept service of all communications and filings with respect to this matter on behalf of the Attorney General and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.” Meanwhile, “Marine Parade Chambers LLP is authorised to accept service of all communications and filings with respect to this matter on behalf of the Elections and Boundaries Commission.”
