THE results are finally in for the Public Services Association (PSA) election, which was held on Monday, and incumbent president Watson Duke and his Game Changers team were victorious with 1,758 votes.
The results took longer than expected as one presiÂding offiÂcer said special votes slowed the process as the votes had to be counted one by one for each team.
The Express understands the official results will be made public today by election officer Selwyn Malcom.
