THE recount of six more electoral districts has been completed and one recount called off.
The United National Congress (UNC) candidate for the electoral district of Bagatelle/Blue Basin, Nalini Goindoo called off her request into a recount of the votes cast in that electoral district in the Local Government Elections on Monday.
That electoral district was won by the People’s National Movement (PNM) candidate, Alina Zennie Renn by a margin of 220 votes, the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) stated in a media release on Wednesday.
The recounts in the electoral districts of Arima West/O’Meara, Auzonville/Tunapuna, Blanchisseuse/Santa Rosa, Five Rivers, Sangre Grande Northeast and San Juan East are also completed.

The vote count for the PEP’s candidate remained the same at 87 votes and the recount of the poll card boxes in that electoral district was still ongoing.
On Tuesday, Chief Election Officer Fern Narcis-Scope received requests for recounts in 14 electoral districts, which were contested in the Local Government Elections on Monday, the requests came from both the PNM and the UNC.
The recounts of three districts first completed were Cocoyea/Tarouba which was won by the PNM, Marabella South/Vistabella retained by the UNC and Mayaro North, which the PNM gained.
