The United National Congress (UNC) has won the popular vote despite contesting 31 less seats than the governing PNM.
Preliminary results released by the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) yesterday indicated the UNC received 43,093 more votes than the PNM in Monday’s local government election
The UNC garnered 173,961 votes, while the People’s National Movement (PNM) got 130,868 votes.
This margin is considerable given that the UNC contested 110 seats while the PNM contested all 141 seats.
