Patrick Andrews declares PUP candidacy
By Patrick E. Jones on July 10, 2013
The People’s United Party (PUP) today announced that Belmopan resident Patrick Jason Andrews has entered his candidacy for the party’s Belmopan Constituency. In a statement issued this afternoon, Andrews states that the decision to offer himself as a PUP candidate in the Belmopan constituency is a “venture into this new phase in my life” and called on the citizens of the nation’s capital to give him the opportunity to serve them and the community. Andrews, according to his statement has served for 16 years with the Youth With A Mission organization, involved with a number of other initiatives in the Belmopan area and was/is a television talk show host.

This is no surprize. This could have been spotted a mile away by a blind man. In my humble opinion not a good move by the PUP either. This man will alienate a whole lot of people just by the way he is already behaving.

This is a great move by Mr. Andrews. Most people are content to sit back and talk and criticize. He is stepping out and putting his money where his mouth is. Let’s see where this goes before drawing conclusions.

Great move Mr. Andrews. You are the best hope for the PUP in Belmopan, the only one who can defeat John Saldivar. As a person with moral and ethical values, coupled with spiritual convictions, you will mobilize tremendous support from Central Belmopan and surrounding communities.

This is indeed sad. Hate now has a home and a face. This will alienate the majority of free thinkers and educated persons from the PUP. Good for the UDP as the PUP just assured them a e victory in that division. A person being upset aBout something does not make them right. His behavior is of disgust and disdain towards anybody not like him.

Mr. Andrews is a good man who has a passion for justice and equality for all. Whichever party’s ticket he chose to run on would have only served well for Belize. I wish you well Patrick. Yes We Can!

This makes me chuckle… I had written about Wade/Patrick political interests a while back. I did not think it would have been with the PUP. I thought it would have been as an independent candidate. This is interesting.. Let’s see how it develops…

Why you think you Saldivar tried to discredit the man and is now suing him. Patrick’s first win will be in court – Mark my words

Jesus said “If any man will follow me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me..” this could be heavy for him !!

PUP will win in Belmopan with this man. We need many more young, vibrant, talented candidates that stand for what they believe in. He spoke against what he saw as wrong and will not back down.
We need more people like him with Godly values and firm convictions that will have the people at heart.
