PUP Moving “Maca” Ramos To Make Way For New Candidate
posted (May 12, 2015)
Last night we told you that the PUP was looking to get in election gear BY shaking things up in some dubious divisions. And tonight there's proof of that: PUP Dangriga Representative Ivan "Maca" Ramos will be replaced by career educator Anthony Sabal. Sabal is the former principal of Ecumenical High School and Junior College and is widely respected in his community. But, he's also a political novice, and information suggests that he's being backed up by some well-resourced PUP's in the south - most notably Henry Canton. Ramos on the other hand was reported to be having some financial difficulties and was viewed by his party as ineffective against the UDP's Frank Pawpa Mena. That was proven in the municipal elections when the PUP in Dangriga got 40% of the vote.

The announcement of the changeover will be made at a press conference tomorrow - and we'll have full coverage.
