U.D.P. Candidate Secures Seat On Concepcion Council In An Uncontested Bid

Late December 2023 saw tensions rise in Concepcion Village after the Elections and Boundaries Department announced the cancellation of the nominations and bye-election required to fill an open position on the Concepcion Village Council. The member position became vacant when Rosalva Moh resigned in early November to bid for chairperson. Having lost that endeavor, Moh then attempted to return to her former position, resulting in the cancellation of the election procedure. The U.D.P. condemned this action and resolved to challenge it in court if the standard protocol was not followed. As a result, the nomination was held on January seventh, where U.D.P. candidate Karel Ricardo Garcia won in an uncontested vote after the P.U.P. failed to nominate a representative. The results were announced earlier this afternoon on the Government of Belize’s official Facebook page.
