UDP Newcomer Wins
posted (January 24, 2011)
And while Moya's political fortunes have taken an ebb, a UDP newcomer is hoping to ride the tide to victory in a division the UDP has never won.

Raul Rosado - the CEO of the Corozal Free Zone was yesterday elected the new UDP Standard Bearer in Corozal Southeast. Rosado toppled incumbent Sirvando Samos with 1,494 votes to Samos's 1028.

Samos has twice contested the division in general election and came within 16 votes of claiming the PUP stronghold in 2008. Rosado is a Gaspar Vega ally and is the Deputy Leader's relative as well, what is known as his "consuegro" - roughly translating to "in-laws."
