P.M. Barrow Says He’s Confident Cayo North will Go Red in 2015!

Of course, the PM is not fazed in the slightest. Why would he be? The Petrocaribe money has been rolling all over the place and will no doubt roll into Cayo North in the five weeks leading up to the bye-election. But we asked anyway, and found the nation’s leader supremely confident and sure of victory.

Prime Minister Dean Barrow

“I don’t think we were too much concerned as to which of the two aspirants would ultimately be chosen. We honestly feel that Omar Figueroa is an excellent candidate. He has the advantage of having been working the area prior to his February Convention win and thereafter. We feel that in all the circumstances the momentum clearly is with him and with the U.D.P., so we are altogether confident of victory.”

Harrison will have to hit the ground running. He has just about five weeks to mount a constituency campaign with the deck stacked firmly against him.
