Tracy Panton, Leader of the Opposition
"My read of the room is that the people have lost their trust and confidence in the UDP as being an alternative to what's going on in a very oppressive administration. And so it is our jobs to work on regaining the trust and the confidence of the Belizean people."
"To me, we can't hold anyone to account if we don't hold ourselves to account first. We know that our job is to ensure that we regain the trust and the confidence of the people and we are going to find a way to get there."
