His Dad Is A Beast In Politics…He’s The President of A Whole Country!
First up is Shyne’s presidential Father, who made history in the country of Belize. That’s right, Shyne’s pops, Dean Barrow is the first Black Prime Minister of Belize (which is equivalent to being the President here in the U.S.)…a position he still holds to this day! So in other words, for us Americans – Shyne’s dad is like the ‘Barack Obama’ of their country…ain’t that somethin’?!!
Ironically, Prime Minister Barrow (pictured above, far left) was sworn in one year prior to his American counterpart, Pres. Obama (above, center), in 2008.
Dean Barrow is also the leader of Belize’s United Democratic Party, a position former attorney has held since 1998.
Shyne’s Whole Family Is Influential In Politics…
Shyne- “My Mesopotamia family🙏🏾🔴🔵⚫️ I’ve been campaigning for the past 5 years in the community I was born and raised and my voters have become my family…..
I look forward to continuing the legacy of my paternal great grand father EOB Barrow who was leader of the National Party and district commissioner, my maternal grand mother Esme Diaz who was a founding member of the National Independence Party, my Uncle Dean Lindo who was founder and party leader of the United Democratic Party, my maternal Uncle Michael Finnegan who went from founding member of the United Democratic Party to campaign manger for my father and one of the longest serving Ministers of Government and finally My father who is the current leader of the United Democratic Party and 3 consecutive term Prime Minister….
I’m extremely blessed to come from such a long lineage of service to people and country🇧🇿”
