As the United Democratic Party (UDP) loses its standard bearer for Belize Rural South, Ramon Vasquez, it gains another three for the areas of Caribbean Shores, Port Loyola, and Freetown for the upcoming general elections.

This afternoon, the party officially announced Dr. Nelma Jones-Mortis as the party’s standard bearer for Caribbean Shores. Dr. Jones-Mortis, a career educator and former mayoral candidate in Belize City, will now challenge the current Area Representative, Kareem Musa.
