Belizean legislative election, 1989
- Belizean legislative election, 1989
A legislative election was held in Belize on 4 September 1989. Belizeans elected 28 members to the House of Representatives for a term of five years.
Background
The ruling United Democratic Party was finishing its first term and sought reelection on the basis of improved economic indicators and standard of living. Their opponents, the People's United Party (PUP) painted them as lusting after foreign aid and recognition, particularly from the United States and Taiwan.
Another issue was national security; the PUP attacked a CIA-like operation known as the Secret Intelligence Service as being a spy network for the UDP and promised freedom of the press and other fundamental freedoms enshrined in the constitution.
The People's United Party (PUP) won the largest share (15) of seats in the election.
