P.U.P. Party Leader Join Dr. Osmond Martinez in Toledo East

So, we just heard from the P.U.P.’s Toledo East candidate, Doctor Osmond Martinez. We now turn to Prime Minister John Briceño, the leader of the People’s United Party. He is in Toledo East tonight alongside Martinez. We spoke with P.M. Briceño about the party’s level of preparedness going into tomorrow. Here is what he told us.

 

On the Phone: Prime Minister John Briceño

“I have every confidence in Osmond’s campaign team. They have been very thorough in their organization. They have been organizing right up to the smallest detail. They have been not only to Bella Vista and Punta Gorda but also to the smaller villages to ensure that we can take out all of our voters and get out people to the poll. That is what is important. Tomorrow is to get our people to come out and vote for us. I have every confidence that the level of organization we will have in place can ensure that we will have a victory tomorrow.”

“There has been a bit of smear campaign or personal attacks against Dr. Martinez, how do you see these things affecting his chances tomorrow, specifically where his nationality is concerns and I know the opposition heralded on a statement he made on a morning show concerning the BDF.”

 

On the Phone: Prime Minister John Briceño

“Again, that shows how desperate the U.D.P. is. They are trying to create an issue where none exist. Everybody know Osmond Martinez is a Belizean. He has one passport. He has one country. He has always considered himself one hundred percent Belizean. So when you have nothing good to say about your candidate then you try to do a smear campaign about your opponent and that has always been the way the UDP has operated. I am not surprised. We are running a positive campaign, one of how Osmond Martinez can continue to build on the work of the late Mike Espat, on the work of the P.U.P. government, the work we have been doing since November 2020.”
