Dennis Lister holds Sandys North Central. Warwick NE is held by Dale Butler. Score: PLP 4 UBP 4. Clearly UBP are not making the gains they had hoped. Julian Hall on ZBM reckons PLP will add at least one seat overall. It is beginning to look that way.
El James confirmed as winner, Shawn Crockwell holds Jamahl Simmons’ old seat in Pembroke West.
Latest score: PLP 2, UBP 3
First real significant news of the night: Dunkley is now more than 60 behind on the third count. As Julian Hall sang on ZBM: “Let’s just kiss and say goodbye …” Glenn Blakeney (PLP, Devonshire N Central) and Darius Tucker are officially declared winners. ZBM is doing a good job of cutting out into the field and were the first to have Darius Tucker on the line. Kim Swan has just won St George’s West for the UBP. Even Julian said he deserved it.
So far: PLP 1 UBP 2. UBP gain: 1
