Still No Date for Toledo East By-Election

A date is yet to be announced for a Toledo East by-election, following the death of P.U.P. Area Representative, Michael Espat. So today reporters asked the prime minister when the by-election will take place. His response was that we will find out when he decides.

 

Prime Minister John Briceño

“I think that is something for me to decide and when we do decide then you will find out, but it has to be done by the third week of July. So, take a day.”
