PUP’s Belize City Mayoral Contest Intensifies Ahead of Deadline

The race for City Hall is heating up and it’s no longer a one-man show. What once looked like a clear path for Deputy Mayor Eluide Miller has quickly turned into a competitive showdown, as veteran councilor Allan Pollard jumps into the mix. Miller enters with strong backing from inside the PUP and City Council, positioning himself as the establishment’s favorite. But Pollard is bringing a different kind of momentum, grassroots support and name recognition that could shake things up. With today marking the deadline for nominations, the field could still shift, and insiders are watching closely for any late entries or surprises. One thing’s certain: the battle for the PUP’s mayoral pick just got a lot more interesting.
