At midday, Tracy Taegar-Panton and her team for the 2025 general elections paraded through the streets of Belize City, heading to the Civic Center for their nomination. Surrounded by a lively and enthusiastic crowd, Taegar-Panton remarked that this turnout was just a preview of the support she expects on Election Day.
