Darrell Bradley has established himself as the busiest Belize City mayor in history, but now he has his eyes on bigger things, as big as the Caribbean Shores Division. 7news has confirmed that Bradley has consulted with his inner circle –as well as disgruntled members of the Caribbean Shores Committee – and he has decided that he wants to challenge Santino Castillo in Caribbean Shores.
The rumor has been circulating since the UDP convention in February, but a source in UDP Headquarters who has spoken to Bradley today confirmed that the Mayor is definitely interested in the division. Bradley would not respond to our text messages requesting a comment, and neither would the current area representative Santino Castillo.
The background to it all is that since the general election a year ago, a few members of the Caribbean shores Committee have expressed their dissatisfaction with Castillo for his lack of engagement with them and his absence in the division. And now, with the substantial cash flow from the municipal bond, the City Council is pushing into Caribbean Shores with the concrete paving of Baymen Avenue, Princess Margaret Drive and Coney Drive. Whatever the case, observers agree Castillo is no pushover and won't shrink away from a challenge – so there will be a battle for the division. But it will take time to develop, because the divisional convention is more than a year away.
