PM Briceño Backs Pott Amid Party Rift in Caye Caulker

There’s political buzz coming out of Caye Caulker tonight. Prime Minister John Briceño is standing firmly behind Chairlady Seleny Villanueva-Pott, who reclaimed her seat in the recent village council elections. But the win didn’t come without controversy, especially after P.U.P. Mayor Wally Nuñez threw his support behind Pott, instead of his own party’s slate. The prime minister, though, says Nuñez had every right to back whoever he believed in.

“I think that the chairlady point out very quickly that she is a PUP and Wally felt that she is a friend and a colleague of him and he wanted to support her and he did. That is his right. And, the important thing is that Caye Caulker had two very good young ladies running and they decided to stay with Seleny and I support that.”
