My people will come out and vote for Oscar Mira and at the end of the day they will make sure that Oscar Mira gets a win. I pledge to work for the aims and achievements of the peaceful constructive Belizean revolution, and not to be a member or supporter of any other political party or organization which principals, policy, or programs are contrary to, or inconsistent with those of the People’s United Party."
