Also in Belmopan today, we got to speak to the UDP Deputy Party Leader Gaspar Vega about Sunday's Convention. Within the party, the run-up to the event is intense with all sides scrambling for support in this high stakes contest. Indeed, Vega is the first sitting Deputy Prime Minister in memory to face a challenge within his party. Today he seemed cool and confident, but not overly so.
Hon. Gaspar Vega
"In this case I have been visiting people around the entire country especially the delegates, so I feel confident."
Jules Vasquez
"Sir, you need 275-280 roughly to win. Would you make a prediction on a margin?"
Hon. Gaspar Vega
"I will definitely get over 300."
About 560 delegates will vote in the UDP convention.
