So, what about Castro's other political opponent, Retired Major Lloyd Jones? Jones recently announced his candidacy for the PUP in Belize Rural North.
Well, Castro had kinder words for Jones saying that he considers him a friend, who will remain that way even after he defeats him at the polls when the
next General Elections take place:
Hon. Edmund Castro - Area Representative, Belize Rural North
"He's my friend. I would personally like to see him come and test the waters. I can hug him up and beat him in the next general election. I don't have
any problem with that. I will still say that he is my friend. He could say what he want to say, slander me, I have no slandering to slander him - but I
will beat him. And if they throw in back Arthur, I will beat him too."
Daniel Ortiz
"Aren't you afraid you are being over confident?"
Hon. Edmund Castro
"My friend, when my party was against me, leading up the 2008 election - I defeated my opponent in the convention handsomely. Won the election, all
sort of things they jam the rastaman with. He will the election, comfortable, increasing the margin and now, what you think? I am getting the support
from the prime minister, from all my cabinet colleague. Man, who so fool to want come test?"
Castro is seeking his third term in office – which would match the post Independence record of former incumbent Maxwell Samuels.
