And the media also asked the PM about the alleged election fraud in Cayo North. As we told you, no determination was made in the court case, and it was moved to the high court to determine whether the Magistrate breached the constitutional rights of the voters by even hearing the case. But filling the registration lists with phantom voters is a PUDP ploy, and today Briceno said we should start with the names on the other side.
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"Well, I don't think you want to open that can of worms when you have the Leader of the Opposition registering himself in his office, that that's where he lives. So we need to start there. When you have the Honorable member from Albert have over 80 people registered in her office. If we want to be real, let's look at everything, and that's where we need to start."
We reached out to Albert area rep, Tracy Panton and she said, quote, "While my office is indeed located at 56 Regent Street, the building also has apartments. The 80 people the PM refers was not done in one registration period but over a period of time. I have publicly stated that I believe that the law needs to be revisited as there are violations from both political organizations." End quote.
Additionally, the PUP has previously challenged Shyne Barrow's residency in Mesopotamia, but it was upheld by the court.
