In the wake of news that Watson Duke retained his seat as leader of the Public Services Association (PSA) two candidates have expressed some interest in meeting and discussing the possibility of co-operation after their election loss.
Speaking with Newsday on Thursday, leader of the Unified Public Officers Oral Saunders described the results of the election as a hollow victory for Duke citing a low voter turnout and irregularities at the polls.
Saunders said while he has no problem accepting defeat, he was concerned over the transparency of the voting process, and questioned the legitimacy of the results.
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.
