As we've reported the UDP standard bearer for Orange Walk North Homero Novelo stepped down last month. And now rumors are that the current area representative UDP's Gaspar Vega is politically re-animated and may want to take back his seat.
Speaking today, the leader of the opposition said he would relish that opportunity:
Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition
"So we'd be happy if Mr. Vega decides to run. I have every confidence that our candidate Monchi Cervantes, a very hardworking, intelligent young man that has been doing more work in Orange Walk North than the present representative, without government resources - would beat Gaspar Vega or anybody that the UDP would decide to put in Orange Walk North. So it doesnt matter who they put. We have every confidence that Monchi will deliver that seat for the PUP."

"If Mr. Vega comes back, would you see this as a tighter race for the elections?"
Hon. John Briceno
"Not really, I think its going to help us, because you know the field day that we would be going to have nationally having Mr. Vega back in active politics. So we are looking for him to officially announce that he is going to be running once more."
We'll have a little more form Briceno later on sun the news.
