Dolores Balderamos-Garcia

The two major political parties are fielding female candidates in Belize Rural Central and it is a race to keep an eye on.  The incumbent is the U.D.P.’s Beverly Williams who is being challenged by a former minister, Dolores Baldermos Garcia.  The campaign in that constituency has become heated as a third candidate; from the B.P.P., has joined the race.  As in other constituencies, the event had no fanfare in keeping with the COVID-19 protocols.

“Majority of my supporters are the same red and blue voters who are tired of their party taking them for granted and just treating them like crap over and over. I am different because I am the type of person that gets engaged with my people. I don’t talk it, I get and I put action.”
