Police shoot fleeing bank robbery suspect dead Continued on page 2 Elections tensions escalating March 1, 2012 BELIZE CITY: Businessman and former political activist Francis Gegg said last night that he was predicting that the Peoples United Party will win next week’s 2012 General Elections.

He said on LOVE FM’s “Talking Politics” radio and television show that the PUP would win as big as they did in 1998 when they won 27 seats. Yasmin Andrews a guest on the show who has done polling work in the 2008 General Elections and has done polls for this election said that her polls have shown that the PUP will win.
