And so tonight, in the the political realm, all eyes are on Cayo north. It's the first true political test for 2015, and while a divisional by election is a relatively minor event, which will change nothing in the balance of power in the House of Representatives. But still scores of political official and operatives form both major mass parties are in cayo this weekend - staying in homes and hotels. For the UDP, it is the start of the drive to a third term in government: the ruling party hopes to dominate this and March's municipal elections, so that they can see their way to a third term.
