Belize Rural Central was another very close race. That contest between PUP incumbent Dolores Balderamos Garcia and Beverly Castillo for the UDP was decided by only 58 votes! Last night when her victory was apparent, Castillo told Monica Bodden she was shaken during the counting:...
Monica Bodden
"Bev tell is about your victory today? How does it feel to be coming out here? I know you been doing your work. You told me today that you got this. Well do have it officially. Tell us how does that make you feel?"
Beverly Castillo, BRC
"Excited, exhilarating. I was trembling, I tell you the truth Monica, but we did it and thanks to the people of Belize Rural Central."
Reporter
"What are your plans now Miss Beverly?"
Beverly Castillo, BRC
"The plans are in the manifesto and Belize Rural Central deserves their fair share. Whatever happens we know that the UDP has won. We form the government and we are here to work for the people."
Monica Bodden
"What can you people expect from you from the upcoming 5 years?"
Beverly Castillo, BRC
"As I said, we had 3 main issues; one was infrastructure. We continue with infrastructure, housing and youth development and it's all embedded in the manifesto. We work from there and bring it out to the people."
Monica Bodden
"How does it feel? All that hard work finally pays off. All this love and support that you are getting out here I know it must be overwhelming for you."
Beverly Castillo, BRC
"It is overwhelming. We need to just re-strategize and get back to what it is that we had plan to do and let the plans fall for and behalf of the people."
