Political Divisions
There are four political divisions in the Corozal District and they are all being represented by members of the ruling United Democratic Party, except for one.
Corozal Bay was previously held by Vildo Marin, but in 2008 Pablo Marin won the seat under the UDP banner and is the representative for the area until the next general election. Pablo Marin is a relative of Vildo Marin. The current Mayor of Corozal Town is Hilberto Campos, also a member of the United Democratic Party. Corozal South East continues to be a PUP stronghold and the strong man in that constituency was Florencio Marin Sr. who in 2008 relinquished the seat to his son Florencio Marin Jr. Marin currently represents that area.
Gabriel Martinez won the 2008 elections in Corozal South West.
In Corozal North Valdemar Castillo was defeated by Nemencio Acosta of the UDP party.
