On Friday, ousted PUP Corozal Bay rep Elvi Vega started a political rumble when she announced quite suddenly that she would be running as an independent - to challenge the candidate who had beat her in a convention, Thea Garcia Ramirez.
There are varied opinions on Vega's last minute decision to run, but for Garcia and her group, she says that she does not see it as a threat to her candidacy.
