No bro,

It's just lazy UNC people. They complacent thinking it's a safe UNC area.

[MaxPower]

Hey Zoom , what is your signature catchphrase again?

I believe one was a stupid country filled with stupid people.

“There is, however, one contentious ballot with a vote cast in favour of the UNC candidate that was deemed to be a rejected ballot on the ground that it did not contain the initials of the Deputy Presiding Officer. The controversial rejection of this ballot has led to the equality of votes. If it is counted as a valid vote, the UNC’s candidate will have to be declared as the duly elected representative for this district,” Kanhai wrote in the letter to the EBC.

Kanhai added, “The UNC’s representatives who were present at both recounts submitted that there was no lawful justification for invalidating the said ballot because the intention of the voter was clear and the inadvertent omission and/or negligence of the DPO in failing to initial same was not a lawful basis for invalidating it. At best, this was but a mere administrative irregularity on the part of the EBC’s official that could not disenfranchise the voter who exercised his right to vote in favour of the candidate of his/her choice.”

Kanhai said there’s nothing in law which states that an uninitialed ballot is a basis for disqualification.

No , it was monkeys want to run our country and I got banned for it.

But I take it back cause Chimpanzees seems more intelligent right now.

Just look at Chimp Empire on Netflix and see intelligent they are compared to a barbaric Trinidad

hear wha eh... i think the unc wrong this time around, i disagree with the stance. the Chief Election officer is within her powers to call it a draw and call fresh polls.

going to court is time consuming and will only stymie the results. take the polls, bring out your people and solve it asap.

(for those of you all know me - shut yuh damn mouth!!! online persona and real life differs)

How exactly Is Kamla planning to win the next General elections.
She currently has 19 seats while PNM has 22 (Including Tobago).
Which east west corridor seats can she swing in her favor..

Simple, hope 2 seats in Tobago goes to Farley to reduce PNM to 20. Swing either San Fernando or Toco-Sangre Grande or both from the PNM to have the majority. If PNM keeps both Sando & Grande but looses Tobago, Farley is Kamla's lifeline.

Now you understand why Farley is being undermined in Tobago.

[Country_Bookie]

This election results will wake up PNM supporters for GE in 2025. They won't take it for granted and will be out in their numbers. UNC will keep putting up the dead horse that loses every election. If anything, PNM might win more than 22 seats in GE.

[death365]

St Joseph can go UNC, d JA we have there right now aint do nuthin for the area in 9 years.

Farley and team has lost a good bit of the goodwill they had in Tobago. They will be lucky to be competitive in a GE

[VexXx Dogg]

2025 is already a PNM victory.
You have to understand and acknowledge the greatness of the machinery that is the PNM.

BTW, I'm anti-everyone if that's not clear, so miss me with the supporter label.

They hadda do something monumentally dotish to lose it. Forget the daily doses of dotish, those are minor blips in the bigger picture.

IF KPB and the PP had actually axed the tax when they promised, maybe they would've had a shot at toppling the red machine. Major policy shift promises are empty, and the yuppie voter base knows this. She already lost a lot of diehard support with the baby boomer generation. (~55-70 age) and many of them just refused to vote this last LGE. At least based on my observations in two central areas, so I wanna see official stats from the EBC.

Both parties will be working extra hard to get people to the polls in 2025.

[Dizzy28]

Arima Northeast shift back to PNM by one vote after recount #2.

[Dizzy28]

Where do they find these extra votes?

[VexXx Dogg]

What's the lost deposit threshold?

[DMan7]

So if FixIT joins up with UNC they won?

[Dizzy28]

1/8th of the total vote cast

What's the lost deposit threshold?

If Kamla steps down or doesn't make it to 2025, who is the most likely person to take over the party and defeat the PNM?

[The_Honourable]

If Kamla steps down or doesn't make it to 2025, who is the most likely person to take over the party and defeat the PNM?

Jearlean John and Roodal Moonilal are the only persons I am seeing so far to take over the party. Jearlean has the best chance to defeat the PNM but would she be accepted by the base since she is non-indo? More than likely yes since the base accepted Jack Warner at one point in time. Now... would Jearlean be accepted by the national executive of the UNC? well...

Indos on both sides of UNC and Red mis government will quicker accept a non African to lead them.

The same can't be said on the red mis government supporters

Well if those are the only viable options, UNC is screwed. Tell bas come and reclaim his throne yes. Even in his retirement, he's better than all of those options combined.

So once someone "take over the party", they guaranteed to defeat the pnm?

Nope, but it may reduce the likelihood of supporters leaving the party or not voting.

That's does not means idiots like you that show racist tendencies. I knew you would fall for this. Ur bias is blatant as u show favour for the red mis government.

Africans in the red mis government will never accept an indo as PM

She doh have enough wind in her sails to pick up that kinda movement. I feel she shoulda reactivate her party card and pull out a coup to kick KPB out. Ironically, I might add, since KPB did a similar coup for bas.
