Powa & Di People: The Countdown to Election Day

Politicians are knocking on every Belizean’s door, which means the election season is officially in full swing for the next 30 days. Campaigns are heating up, political flags are going up, and many are proudly displaying their allegiance by wearing their party’s colour on their sleeves or the faces of the leaders they champion on the backs of their T-shirts. But as the days tick down, what is there to know about the road to election day? What factors will influence your vote? And more importantly—how can you cast a responsible vote?

There are so many questions that plague the minds of many voters, especially young voters. To help you break down these political complexities and the issues that matter most, Channel 5 is bringing you its latest talk show—Powa & Di People. This 90-minute program will debut on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., right after the evening news, and it’s here to tackle those tough questions head-on.

Powa & Di People will air every Tuesday and Thursday leading up to March 11—the eve of Decision 2025 when Belizeans will walk up to the polls and cast the vote that will lead the next 5 years.

Expect lively discussions about the most pressing issues facing Belizeans today. From the economy and job creation to crime, healthcare, education, and beyond, this show is designed to help you understand key topics.

Joining the conversation will be contributors Demmy Williams and Dr. Harold Young, who will provide thoughtful analysis and spark debates on critical matters. But the best part? This isn’t a one-sided show. Your voice matters too! Viewers will be encouraged to actively participate in the discussions, ask questions, and share their views.

Make sure to tune in every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 p.m., from February 18 through March 11. Powa & Di People is your chance to be part of Belize’s political conversation as we head toward election day 2025.
