Incumbent TTUTA President Antonia Tekah Defrietas has asked for a recount of the votes in the recently concluded TTUTA elections.
The elections, which were held on Tuesday, saw six executive positions up for grabs.
Based on the preliminary count released by the Elections Commission just before 1 am yesterday, Tekah-De Freitas received 3,535 votes while her challenger Martin Lum Kin got 3,585.
The only member of Tekah-De Freitas’ Team Renaissance slate to be victorious was Adesh Dwarika.
The other successful candidates were Marsha Huggins (second vice president); Natasha Baran-Ramtahal (third vice president); Kady Beckles (general secretary) and Cuthbert Joseph (treasurer).
However speaking with News Power Now this morning, challenger Martin Lum Kin says that he is now awaiting a voting recount.
He said that TTUTA’s work however will continue, and commented on various issues facing the Association.
Giving his take on why teachers seem ready for a change in leadership, he said that the teachers were dissatisfied with the previous representation.
