Luke Espat – From PUP Financier To PUP Candidate He first busted on the scene in the 90’s as a PUP contractor. Among his first engagement s was the building of houses on the outskirts of Belize City on the Northern Highway. Today over two decades later at least one of the several houses he built, leaning on its side, remains as a permanent testimony of a man who was destined to fail in every venture thereafter. It is like everything he touched thereafter turned to mud. It was in the wake of the leaning Belize City houses that he inherited the name Lucas Eilene. His name at birth is actually Luke Espat. This is the man who this week announced that he is running for the dying opposition PUP in Cayo Central, a Luke Espat constituency to which he is as alien as absolutely not a single connection. the Russians landing on our shores, Standing at the intersection of three a constituency to which he has Please Turn To Page 2 Page 2 - STAR - Tels: 626-8822 & 626-8841 & 804-4900 - Email:[email protected] - Sunday, August 11, 2013 Toledo Alliance for Progress The Toledo Alliance for Progress civil society, Kriol, Garifuna and East (TAP) is a grass roots Toledo-based Indian Councils, Mestizos and Maya organization, duly registered in organizations, along with the business January 2013.

  • Election 2012-Descriptive Stastical Analysis-1
    DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS 2012 General Elections By Myrtle Palacio INTRODUCTION This is a generalized descriptive statistical analysis of the 2012 General Elections. Using 2008 as the base year for comparison with the 2012 Elections, the analysis will scrutinize the electoral divisions by administrative district. Voter turnout will be targeted in place of pure numbers primarily for uniformity, as the voter populations of electoral divisions are not equal, and may cause the outcome to be perceived as misleading. For example in Toledo West, the variance of win is 1,297 and in Fort George it is 487. In terms of pure numbers Toledo West demonstrates a party popularity of nearly three times that of Fort George. However the outcomes for both are nearly the same when the percentage is utilized: the PUP candidate in Toledo West garnered 62.45% voter popularity and the PUP candidate in Fort George garnered 61.92%. Voter turnout and party popularity indicate voter participation at the polls and to a great extent communicates voter behaviour or attitude; and the outcomes in the examples clearly conveys that nearly two- thirds of the Voters wanted the PUP. The data for this exercise come primarily from two tables in the Appendix, namely Appendix i “Summary Result of General Elections 1979 to 2012” and Appendix ii “Election Outcome by Division Party and Voter Participation”. Table ii compares the voter turnout of 2008 with that of the 2012 election by party and by division. The source for the tables and appendices are my recent publications and papers and the Elections and Boundaries Department for 2012 election result.
