PUP File Election Petition Against Hon. Mark King
posted (March 28, 2012)
The PUP has filed another election petition - this one against the UDP's Lake Independence Area Representative, Mark King.

The petition is filed by King's PUP Opponent Martin Galvez. He alleges that Mark King has a contract with the government of Belize - and that King did not make a declaration of it - and because of that, he is not a qualified candidate.

As we understand it, the claim is that King's security firm has a contract with the Government.

We reached King this evening and he told us he has no comment at this time -but added that he has no concern about what Galvez and his sister do.

The PUP will also file petitions in the Cayo Central and Cayo Northeast divisions.

They have until Friday to do so.

There is no word tonight on whether the UDP plans to proceed with a rumoured petition against PUP leader Francis Fonseca.
