However, on Wednesday's episode of Uncut, he didn't seem quite so sure anymore. He explained that he felt he was needed in the party, at least to ensure that there is a succession plan in place to avoid what is currently happening in the UDP - and what previously happened in the PUP. So in 2030, we may see a 69 year old John Briceno's name on the ballot once again. Here's what he said about it.

John Briceno, Prime Minister
"Initially my immediate reaction back then, you know of a few months ago when a reporter asked me that question, in my mind I was thinking probably maybe this would be my last election. I expected to only do two or three terms and this would be my eighth term, God willing, if the people in Orange Walk Central give me their support."

"So I figured, but in reflection, I think I have a responsibility to our party and to our government. When you look at, in 2008 there was not a succession plan and then look at the term when we went through, because of that we ended up giving Mr. Barrow three terms."

Look at the UDP, the UDP is imploding because there was no succession plan. So in my mind, I think that I want to be able to come up with a succession plan so that when I see that there is a real succession plan that would not create that kind of turmoil that I could leave, then I would leave."

Jules Vasquez
"Perhaps no such thing exists though."

John Briceno, Prime Minister
"Well now, if I believe that I may need to go into a third term and then after that pass it on to somebody else and then I can go and retire, then if I'm needed, I would do that."

"And so far most of the cabinet members individually can talk to me and say, you know, I think we feel safe until that time comes."

Jules Vasquez
"So you're hedging on your decision?"

John Briceno, Prime Minister
"Yes, I am hedging. I have to, not because I want to, but I have to. I have a responsibility to my party and also to the work that we've been doing as a government."
