Municipal and By-Election 2021: The South: Dangriga and Punta Gorda

By Aaron Humes: The South has been a People’s United Party stronghold for years at the national level, but the Dangriga and Punta Gorda councils have been wildcards at best recently, especially the latter. The PUP team in Dangriga faces not only a popular incumbent in Mayor Francis Humphreys but also a challenge from the Belize People’s Front (BPF) and Chris Lewis’ United Upliftment Party. In P.G. the Belize Progressive Party has fielded a full slate that aims to topple the major parties there for the first time.
