And all of Belize - PUP's, UDP's and casual observers will be watching and waiting to see who will emerge victorious - after all, the fate of the opposition really dictates the state of the democracy.
So, how early will the results be known?
The chairman has counted those 500+ delegate votes more than once, and here's his forecast for an early finish:
Cherisse Halsall
"Sir once the convention starts on Sunday, how soon can the public expect to have a result?"
Micheal Peyrefitte - Chairman of the United Democratic Party
"As soon as we're finished counting. We start at 10 for delegates and 2 o'clock we start for alternates. The voting stops at 3 and we begin to count immediately after. So I'm hoping, it's my hope and expectation that by 4-4:30 you will already know."
