The recount of the ballots in the St. Joseph constituency continues today and the Chief Elections Officer is hoping it will be completed soon.

St. Joseph is among five seats where the results from last Monday’s General Election were challenged by the United National Congress.

While the preliminary results show victory for the peoples national movement, the UNC called for a recount in the constituencies of La Horquetta/Talparo, Tunapuna, Toco/Sangre Grande San Fernando west and St. Joseph.

This morning Chief Elections Officer Fern Narcis Scope said this morning St. Joseph is outstanding.

And opposition leader Kamla Persad Bissessar is being told to accept her party has lost the election.

The call comes from former opposition MP Dr. Fuad Khan.

He says the Peoples National Movement won the August 10^th General Elections fair and square just as the Peoples Partnership did in 2010.

Dr. Khan says to cast doubt on the EBC is wrong.

Dr. Khan says it is sad that Mrs. Persad Bissessar is leading UNC supporters down this road.

He was speaking via a Facebook post yesterday.
