Elida Escobar removed from BPF’s slate

It was little over a week ago that the Belize People’s Front announced Elida Escobar as its Cayo Central Standard Bearer. Today, the third party issued a release stating that her appointment has been rescinded. Reports are that the rescinding comes after it was found out that Escobar has dual nationality and is a Belizean/Guatemalan.  This report was coupled with allegations that the birth certificate she had presented initially was a falsified document.  According to the BPF’s release, the party is governed by a very specific set of standards and policies. As a result, the BPF’s Executive’s demanded action. Our newsroom spoke to Escobar today who says she will be making a statement later this week.
