Patrick Andrews picks up endorsement
The Belmopan branch of the People’s United Party (PUP) today announced that the aspirant for the standard bearer position in the nation’s capital Patrick Jason Andrews has been endorsed by defeated candidate Dr. Amin Hegar.
Hegar lost to John Saldivar in the March 7, 2012 general election.
In a statement issued today, the PUP Belmopan said that Dr. Hegar is throwing his full support behind the candidacy of Andrews, and that the former standard bearer “encourages his committee and campaign personnel to support Mr. Andrews” in his quest to become the next PUP standard bearer for Belmopan, seeking to unseat Minister of National Security John Saldivar in the next general elections, constitutionally due in 2017.
“Dr. Hegar recognizes the need for a united front against the UDP,” the PUP statement says, noting that both Hegar and Andrews are united “with a common goal to rescue the City of Belmopan…”
The PUP statement says that “Mr. Andrews expressed his utmost respect and admiration for Dr. Hegar’s valuable experience, hard work and dedication in Belmopan, and committed himself to work in a spirit of trust and respect with all concerned.”
