The Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) is now in
charge of the boxes containing votes for SW St
Ann, in yesterday’s General Elections.
Meantime supporters of the two major parties
are on edge about the final outcome, after a
narrow win was declared for the JLP’s Zavia
Mayne, newcomer to political representation.
In the preliminary count, Mayne polled 6,992
votes to beat Keith Walford (PNP) 6872, by 120
votes. Walford represented SW in the last
Parliament.
The EOJ would commence what is called the
“final count” between today and Monday in the
constituency but Mr Walford asked for the
recount not to take place in Alexandria as was
expected, at the EOJ offices there.
