Clairmont Mingo
late Friday night declared A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC)
the winner of the general and regional elections in Region Four.
The Region Four results declared Friday night differ slightly from those that were subsequently scrapped
by the High Court earlier this week. Those stated that APNU+AFC got 136,335 and PPPC 77,258.
Now that the declaration for Region Four has been made, they have to be submitted to the Chief Elections Officer
Keith Lowenfield who will prepare a report and submit it to the seven-member commission for approval.
If all goes well, David Granger will be sworn in for a second straight term by next week.
Shortly after the declaration, Mingo was escorted out
of the GECOM High and Cowan streets head office by heavily armed police at 11:06 pm.
He was reportedly surrounded by 25 armed policemen shortly after the declaration.
