A New Elections & Boundaries Commission is Sworn In
A new Elections and Boundaries Commission was sworn in during a brief ceremony today at Belize House. Five members, including Chairman Oscar Sabido, were administered the oath of office. Along with a new presiding officer are Orlando Espat, Conrad Lewis, Phillipa Griffith Bailey and Alberto August. Senior Counsel Sabido takes up the reins from former chairman Steve Perrera whose departure from that post came amid harsh criticisms from the Briceño administration.

And while the Senate deferred the second readings of those bills, the Senate did ratify the appointment of members of the Elections and Boundaries Commission. Oscar Sabido will chair the Commission, and its members include Orlando Espat, Phillipa Bailey, Conrad Lewis, and Alberto August. They will serve a term for five years, which was one of the concerns expressed by N.G.O. Senator Osmany Salas.
Osmany Salas, Senator for N.G.O.s
“I notice in this motion for appointment of members for Elections and Boundaries Commission. It is to be a period for five years. I would prefer to see a shorter period knowing that the intention is that during that time we would seriously look at reforming the electorate system, looking at how we can put in place an independent, well resources commission.”

Oscar Sabido
A new Elections and Boundaries Commission held its inaugural meeting today, despite its members not being formally sworn-in to office. As we reported on Tuesday, the E.B.C. is being chaired by Senior Counsel Oscar Sabido who replaces fellow attorney Estevan Perrera in that post. Joining him as members of the newly formed Commission are Orlando Espat, Conrad Lewis, Phillipa Griffith Bailey and Alberto August. Chairman Sabido and members Espat and Lewis are appointed on the advice of Prime Minister John Briceño, while August is appointed on the advice of Opposition Leader Patrick Faber. The composition of a new Elections and Boundaries Commission comes a few short weeks ahead of the March third municipal elections.
