Everything about John Brice O totally explained
Juan Antonio Briceño, otherwise known as "John" or "Johnny" (born
1960,
Orange Walk Town) is a
Belizean politician and a member of the
People's United Party (PUP).
He became Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Commerce and Industry in 1998 after the PUP returned to power in that year's election. In August 2004 he led a group of ministers, known as the G-7 alliance, who made a number of reform demands, including the dismissal of
Ralph Fonseca from the Cabinet. When Prime Minister
Said Musa failed to meet these demands, the group resigned; however, Musa subsequently agreed to all of the demands except for the dismissal of Fonseca and the G-7 ministers remained in the Cabinet. Briceño was later one of the ministers who opposed Musa's proposal to settle the country's Universal Health Services debt; as a result of this, Musa attempted to demote Briceño from his position as Deputy Prime Minister, but Briceño refused to accept the lesser posts in the Cabinet that he was offered and instead resigned from the Cabinet on
June 5 2007.
At a national convention of the PUP in July 2007, Briceño was re-elected as one of the party's deputy leaders. In the
February 2008 general election, in which the PUP was defeated, Briceño was re-elected in his constituency of Orange Walk Central, one of only six successful PUP candidates.
On March 30 2008, Briceño became the party leader of the PUP. He took over the leadership from former party leader Said Musa, after defeating Francis Fonseca, a fellow member of the PUP and member of Parlament at a convention of the PUP.
