Hilberto Campos
Former Corozal Mayor Hilberto Campos is running against the younger sibling of David ‘Dido’ Vega next Wednesday in a bye-election to represent Corozal Bay in parliament. Vega died of COVID-19 complications on December eleventh, 2020, the day when he was set to be sworn in as a member of the House of Representatives. In the wake of the tragic loss, Elvia Vega has taken up the mantle of continuing with her brother’s dream of serving the constituents of the bay. She has been busy campaigning with the support of the People’s United Party and was unavailable for interview on Wednesday when we visited Corozal Town. News Five did have a chance to speak with her opponent who has hit the ground running after a brief hiatus from electoral politics.
