posted (June 8, 2015)
The father and mother's day event was held at an open lot adjoining Ramos's house. We say that because he was basically at home - amongst his supporters and feeling comfortable. Here's what he told us minutes after he made the announcement...

Jules Vasquez
"Mr. Ivan, you said it. How do you feel right now?"

Ivan Ramos, Resigned - PUP Rep. For Dangriga
"Well I feel myself."

Jules Vasquez
"You feel unencumbered?"

Ivan Ramos, Resigned - PUP Rep. For Dangriga
"No, yes, I feel unencumbered."

Jules Vasquez
"These people here, they are hugging you, they are still supporting you...what will you tell them to do in the next election? You told them up there you wish them luck with the grand old party. But will you tell them..."

Ivan Ramos, Resigned - PUP Rep. For Dangriga
"I already said that I will not influence their decision. It's for them to decide."

Jules Vasquez
"But will you go and help Mr. Sabal and tell them 'see Sabal here, support him like how you support me.'"

Ivan Ramos
"Well, I am stepping aside because they are convinced that I cannot help, I cannot win. So why should I participate? As simple as that."
