Belizeans will vote for a new government on November 11 after Prime Minister Dean Barrow, who is bowing out of active politics, announced that he had advised the Governor-General, Sir Colville Norbert Young dissolve the National Assembly on Tuesday.
Barrow said he had advised the Head of State that the elections will be held on November 11, 2020. Nomination Day will be October 21.
The brief statement from the Office of the Prime Minister noted that “during the period between the dissolution of the National Assembly and the appointment of a Prime Minister after a general election, the government of Belize shall continue to be administered by the Prime Minister and the other Ministers and Ministers of State of the Government.”
Like many other Caribbean countries that have held general elections this year, Belize’s poll will also be held during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that has resulted in countries implementing various protocols and measures aimed at curbing the spread of the virus that has killed 30 people and infected 2, 204 people.
