Profile

The Cayo North constituency was created for the 1961 general election as part of a major nationwide redistricting. The constituency is based in the northwestern corner of Cayo District.[1] It includes the southern part of San Ignacio as well as the villages of Bullet Tree Falls and Paslow Falls.[2]

Joseph Mahmud of the People's United Party, who was elected in the 2012 election, unexpectedly resigned in November 2014.[3] A by-election was held on 5 January 2015 to elect Mahmud's successor. The by-election was only the third in Belize since independence, preceded by by-elections in Freetown (January 1993) and Cayo South (October 2003).[3][4] Candidate nominations closed on 15 December 2014 with PUP nominee Richard Harrison and UDP nominee Omar Figueroa qualifying. No third party candidates appeared on the ballot.[5] Figueroa won the by-election by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, increasing the UDP's overall majority in the Belize House.[6]
