And one of those Applicants for Albert is Jose UC Espat, a known public figure for his activism within communities and families who have lost their loved ones under violent circumstances. Barrow believes that Espat's outspokenness is what makes him a viable candidate.

"He's not the only applicant for Albert mind you. But Mr Espat has done well in my view in being and advocate for the Belizean people he is not someone that can be accused of any partisanship and in my view he is the type of candidate the Belizean People have been saying that they want an outsider, disrupter not the garden variety run of the mill politician that will get in there to self enrich and to self preserve so if the public is serious about change and disruption and revolution and overhauling the system that would be a candidate that they should vote for."
Uc Espat indicated in a Facebook comment today that he may re-think his candidacy.
