Christopher “Boy Ross” Wright, independent candidate for the Hollywood/Point Fortin electoral district in Monday’s by-election, has blamed his loss on “nasty rumours” that he claims the PNM spread about him.
But the victorious PNM candidate, Leslie Chang Fong, said this is untrue.
Chang Fong, who is also deputy mayor of Point Fortin, won the by-election with 394 votes, while the UNC s Daniel John got 58 and Wright got 307.
