Mesopotamia (Belize House constituency)

Mesopotamia, sometimes abbreviated as Mesop, is an electoral constituency in the Belize District represented in the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belize since 2020 by Shyne Barrow of the United Democratic Party.

Profile
The Mesopotamia constituency was created for the 1961 general election as part of a major nationwide redistricting. It currently comprises much of central Belize City, surrounded by the Collet, Queen's Square and Albert constituencies. The UDP has continuously held Mesopotamia since the 1979 general election, longer than any other constituency. It is widely considered a strong UDP safe seat.

Longtime representative Michael Finnegan stood down at the 2020 general election and was succeeded by his nephew, internationally known rapper Shyne Barrow.
