PNP Calls for Urgent Redistricting in Belize

Party leader Will Maheia of the People’s National Party (PNP) issued an urgent appeal to the Government of Belize for immediate redistricting. The party argues that redistricting is essential not only for political fairness but also for ensuring equality in the electoral process.

In the press release issued today, August 13, 2024, the PNP emphasised that reform is critical for maintaining unity and upholding democratic values. They have called on NGOs, unions, civil society groups, churches, and the diaspora to support this cause.

“We urge the Government to act swiftly to ensure that our upcoming general elections are conducted under the principles of legality, freedom, and fairness,” the press release stated. “As enshrined in our nation’s constitution, every citizen’s vote should hold equal weight,” it emphasised.
