And there are also changes in the senate lineup. And this one introduces a new face. Â
Attorney Payal Ghanwani, will be appointed as the new UDP senator, taking the place of Steve Duncan - who resigned immediately after the UDP convention. It is somewhat of a surprise because Ghanwani is not well known in UDP circles, but is a talented new face. Â
She also comes from the law offices of Steve Perera, considered a UDP friendly attorney. She becomes the first Indian-Belizean Senator and is expected to be sworn in at the next sitting in March. Â
