Leader of the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), Oswald Skippings, has asked for a recount of the votes for “at large” candidates. According to the Governor’s Office, this will take place on Monday at Dillon Hall, Grand Turk.

After a delay in the first count, the reason for which was said to be the number of voters in Electoral District 2, Grand Turk South, and that each individual ballot paper had to be read aloud and shown to all of those present at the count, the provisional standings that are being challenged are as follows:

1. Sharlene Cartwright Robinson – PDM – 3,427 votes (provisional)

2. Rufus Ewing – PNP – 3,252 votes (provisional)

3. Derek Taylor – PDM – 3,191 votes (provisional)

4. Washington Misick – PNP – 3,107 votes (provisional)

5. Josephine Connolly – PDM – 3,023 votes (provisional)

6. Carlos Simons – PNP – 2,899 votes (provisional)

7. Samuel Harvey – PDM – 2,896 votes (provisional)

8. Oswald Skippings – PDM – 2,894 votes (provisional)

9. Wayne Garland – PNP – 2,806 votes (provisional)

10. Royal Robinson – PNP – 2,700 votes (provisional)

11. Oswald Simons – IND – 233 votes (provisional)

If confirmed after recount this would take the number of seats secured by each party in this election to:

• PNP – 8 seats

• PDM – 7 seats
