Tracy Panton Announces Candidates for General Election 2025

The Alliance of Democracy under the United Democratic Party (UDP), led by Albert Area Representative Tracy Taegar-Panton, has officially launched its campaign for the upcoming March 12 general elections.

This morning, Panton revealed that 13 candidates are under her leadership, with one new addition confirmed this morning. On Friday, the Belize High Court ruled in favour of Panton, dismissing two contempt claims from Moses ‘Shyne’ Barrow. Despite multiple attempts to mediate, Barrow refused every time, and Panton said that the “ship has sailed.”

Panton said her team tried their best to mediate and keep things united for as long as possible. However, the final chance for unity will be on Monday, Nomination Day.

With the 2025 general elections just around the corner, Panton said that her faction “seeks to successfully contest the general elections.”

Panton who is running as the candidate for Albert, unveiled her slate of candidates “running for the United Democratic Party in 14 constituencies.”

In her address, she stated that her candidates will take on their opponents, no matter what “incentives” their opponents may offer.

Here’s her list of candidates:
