By Aaron Humes: Beaten in three straight general elections, several by-elections and multiple 
municipal council elections since the departure of Right Honorable Said Musa as party leader in 2008, one may forgive the People’s United Party for seizing on the 016 village council elections as a means of asserting its position on the political landscape en route to the next such national elections in 2021.
But according to party leader John Briceno, while they are not conceding anything to the United Democratic Party, they are holding their own and have eyes on the bigger prize.
Through two rounds of elections the UDP have claimed a majority of villages, with another round voting on Sunday.
