PUP Cagey On Village Councils
posted (February 3, 2016)

As we showed you at the top of the newscast, new PUP leader John Briceno has hit the ground running – but he's not about to run into a brick wall come March and April when village council elections will be held. IT could be a costly undertaking for the rebuilding PUP – and today Briceno was cautious in addressing it:

Hon. John Briceno - PUP Party Leader

"We're looking first at village council elections which I believe should start in March, which likely will start in April since the UDP, they are going to be having their national convention to the end of next month; so one of the first things that we are going to do is that we have to do an analysis of the village council. I think we have about 193 villages in the country. Me, I believe that we should try to minimize politics in village councils."
