Oscar Requena, Area Representative, Toledo West

“ I want to say that I am indeed deeply humbled. In fact, feeling emotional at the level of support that I continue to receive from the beautiful people of Toledo West. The people have spoken.  It’s obvious that the people have given me another mandate. I must continue to work hard, to ensure that we deliver to the people of Toledo West. I am committed to continuing the work that we have started. I believe that in the last four and a half years in government, we have built a foundation and we need to now build on that foundation and to continue to strengthen that work that we have started. I want to thank each and every voter who voted for me today. Without you, i I could not do it. So I am humbled by that great love, by that great support that the people of Toledo West continue to give me. I also want to thank the voters who came out and did not vote for me. That is democracy. Belize has won today. Belize has won because, we’re a country of laws. We’re a country where we respect the will of the people. And the will of the people have spoken. And we want to acknowledge that. I want to thank them. And I want to say that we will continue to work together to build a stronger Toledo West, a stronger Toledo, along with my colleague, the Honorable Dr. Osmond Martinez. Together with our Prime Minister and all our colleagues who have been elected to government, we will continue to work hard. And to build a better Toledo and a better Belize for all.”
