A recount of ballots has begun in 3 constituencies, St Joseph, La Horquetta/Talparo and San Fernando west.

The Peoples National Movement won these seats in Monday’s General Election.

The PNM won a total of 22 seats and the United National Congress got 19.

The recounts of the ballots began yesterday afternoon.
