PM Responds to Alleged Voter Fraud in Cayo North

On Wednesday, over a hundred voters who tried to transfer to Cayo North were told to stay put in their current constituencies. This came after U.D.P. Standard Bearer Omar Figueroa raised concerns about possible fraud. The case went to the San Ignacio Magistrate court, where the magistrate even visited some of the voters’ addresses to check things out. After a lot of back and forth, the magistrate decided to send the case to the High Court, leaving the final decision up in the air. For now, those voters won’t be moving to Cayo North. We caught up with Prime Minister John Briceño to get his take on the situation. Here’s what he had to say.

“Well, I don’t think you want to open up can of worm when you have the leader of the opposition registering himself in his office that that’s where he lives. So we need to start there when you have the honorable member from Albert have over eighty people registered in her library, in her office. Those are the things we, if we want to be real, let’s look at everything. And that’s where we need to start. And you could go and check in Orange Walk Central. You noh wa find that.”
