Profile
The Queen's Square constituency was one of 10 new seats created for the 1984 general election. It occupies a southern portion of central Belize City, bordering the Collet, Mesopotamia and Port Loyola constituencies.[1] A UDP stronghold, Queen's Square is the only constituency in the Belize District which has never been won by the People's United Party.
