By Horace Palacio: John Saldivar’s bold claim that “Belmopan will surprise the nation” has sparked intense political debate as the March 12th election approaches.

With 10,154 registered voters in Belmopan, the race in Belize’s capital is shaping up to be a key battleground. Given that municipal elections often have lower voter turnout than general elections, a major factor will be how many of these electors actually show up to vote on election day.

Belmopan, historically a swing constituency, has a diverse voting population. While Saldivar has a strong support base, the PUP-led government has been investing in infrastructure and social programs, which could sway undecided voters. His past controversies remain a key obstacle, but Saldivar’s confidence suggests he believes he has the numbers to win.

A high turnout among supporters and those dissatisfied with the PUP administration will be crucial for his success. However, with only weeks to go, the question remains: will Belmopan deliver the surprise Saldivar is predicting?
