the people’s united party has yet to prove it can win a general election since its last victory in 2005, 14 years ago; a virtual eon in politics. despite gains in belize city in 2015, most notably kareem musa’s upset win over belize city mayor, darrell bradley in the caribbean shores constituency, the opposition pup remained at 11 seats overall thanks to losses in the cayo and corozal districts. however, after former senate president, lee mark chang bested opponent leila peyrefitte in the udp convention held in carribean shores constituency, there have been rumours that if the win indicated that caribbean shores would go red next year, also given that the “yes” vote prevailed in caribbean shores for the 2019 referendum. area representative, kareem musa said that he did not ask a single voter to vote yes or no in the referendum and that he is confident of next victory at polls. the pup will run with johnny briceño as it's leader. francis fonseca, who led the party during the past two general elections, resigned from leadership soon after the party’s 2015 loss. although briceño served a previous term as pup leader from 2008 to 2011, he has yet to led the party during a general election and do what fonseca could not, steer the party into a victory. on the morning of briceño swearing-in as leader of the party.
