One municipality that switched from red to blue - the first time in 15 years - was Belmopan. The Capital City also elected its first female mayor, Sharon Palacio, who was a councilor in the last PUP administration back in 2003 to 2006.

And she is only one of the 23 women who were elected into office on March 3rd. At the end of the night, we got her victory speech in which she laid out some plans she has for the City Council.

Of the elected candidates, 34% are women and 66% are men. In total, there were 45 women running in this past municipal election.
