By BBN Staff: Happening now: The Belize National Teacher’s Union (BNTU) is deliberating whether or not to differ the ongoing executive elections due to political interference.

Outgoing BNTU President, Luke Palacio, put it to the district branches to vote on canceling today’s elections and resume at a new date with new candidates following allegations that one of the candidates for president is being supported by the United Democratic Party.

However, voting has already commenced.
