New PUP national executive sworn in
Belize City, BELIZE. Wednesday, February 3, 2016. TNC: A swearing in ceremony for the new executive of the People’s United Party (PUP) was held this morning at Independence Hall in Belize City.
John Briceño, the new leader of the PUP, was flanked by the rest of his executive that was chosen on Sunday during a convention in Belmopan, as they took their oath from veteran politician and former minister of government Sam Waight.
The new executive of the PUP includes Deputy Leaders Julius Espat (West), Kareem Musa (East), Jose Mai (North) and Rodwell Ferguson (South).
Ramon Cervantes, Jr is the Treasurer of the PUP, Henry Charles Usher is the PUP Chairman, Anthony Mahler is the National Communications Director and Victor Espat is the National Campaign Manager.
PUP leader Briceño has pledged to work with his colleagues to unite the party following Sunday’s hard-fought convention.
Briceño garnered 1,122 votes in Sunday’s convention, beating out former PUP leader Francis Fonseca and Lake Independence area representative Cordel Hyde for the position.
Briceño will travel to Belmopan later this week to be sworn in as Leader of the Opposition by the Governor General, Sir Colville Young.
