Leader of the United National Congress, Kamla Persad Bissessar is not yet conceding defeat at the polls.

At her Siparia constituency office last evening, Mrs. Persad Bissessar said there would be recounts.

She expressed her surprise at the results of the polls, but at the same time she is pleased that the UNC gained, rather than lost.

The UNC placed its bets on victory for Jerlean John in La Horquetta/Talparo, but she lost to the PNM’s General Secretary, Foster Cummings.
