The Municipal Race in San Pedro Town
The municipal elections are thirty-three days away. Over the past few weeks, the major political parties have been releasing their official slates for the municipalities across the country. In San Pedro Town, both the U.D.P. and P.U.P. mayoral and councillor candidates have been working the streets to poll the residents about their concerns and share their manifesto goals for the island town. News Five’s Duane Moody caught up with some of them on the campaign trail.
