Returning president of the Public Services Association (PSA) Watson Duke is urging disgruntled candidates and members to take up their concerns with the association s election committee, as he believes the voting process was free and fair.
The elections, held on Monday, came after three years of lawsuits raised when former candidate Gabriel Solomon questioned the validity of the PSA s voters list.
The elections were originally scheduled for November 23, but were delayed again to December 14 when High Court judge Nadia Kangaloo found duplications in the list presented by the association at the time.
PSA candidates unhappy over election results delay
Nixon Callender -
Candidates who ran in the elections for the Public Services Association (PSA) executive are not pleased at the delay in the results, with one suggesting the slow counting was a ploy to tilt the outcome in favour of a particular contender.
The elections were held on Monday after three years of legal battles stemming from former candidate Solomon Gabriel s concerns over the voters list in 2017.
Initial results posted on the PSA s Facebook page on Tuesday suggested sitting president Watson Duke was in the lead, with Oral Saunders running a distant second. These figures were later deleted.
