By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On Sunday, February 5, 2023, the United Democratic Party (UDP) will host a convention to elect a standard bearer for the Belmopam constituency.

Former 3-term Belmopan Area Representative, John Saldivar has once again offered himself as a candidate.

In an interview with News 5 Belize, he says that the people of Belmopan know who he is and they will be the ones to make a decision on Sunday.

With relations to his party leader, Shyne Barrow, Saldivar said that he is not worried about the campaign against him.

“My party leader has gone on the limb, against what the national party council decided and he on his own has embarked on this campaign against me. I am not worried about that, because one it is the people of Belmopan that has to make that decision,” Saldivar said.

“Having work hard to get the party leader now where he is as party leader for him to now without evidence try to push me out of politics, speaks to his character, not mine,” he added.

“I think the people of Belmopan know me, know who I am, know the lifestyle I live. And, that belies what is the narrative they are saying about me. People in Belmopan don’t know that John Saldivar, don’t know me to be that person,” Saldivar stated.

Saldivar also said that the accusations against him does not include public funds or tax payers money and the same can’t be said for many politicians.
