While Ingrid Vega slowly recovers, politically speaking, the People’s United Party has to be quick and decisive to retain control of the Corozal Bay Division. David “Dido” Vega was the P.U.P.’s gentle giant in the division, flipping the constituency and defeating the U.D.P.’s Pablo Marin. Vega must be replaced with a formidable successor for the government to win the seat once more. It is unsure whether or not Elvia Vega will be challenged, especially since she has the backing of the P.U.P.’s Corozal Bay Committee. Elvia is the sister of Dido and was on the campaign trail with him. According to PM John Briceño, with municipals elections fast approaching, it is expected that the by-election will be held simultaneously.
