One week af­ter the Gen­er­al Elec­tion, the Elec­tions and Bound­aries Com­mis­sion (EBC) says it has com­plet­ed all three re­counts.

The last, San Fer­nan­do East, re­mained in the hands of the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment’s (PNM) Bri­an Man­ning.

A day af­ter the elec­tion, the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress trig­gered re­counts in three con­stituen­cies: San Fer­nan­do East; Mal­abar/Mau­si­ca (for­mer­ly D’Abadie/O’Meara) and Arou­ca/Lopinot (for­mer­ly Lopinot/Bon Air West) seats.

The can­di­dates for the San Fer­nan­do East seat were Man­ning (PNM), John Michael Al­i­bo­cas (UNC) and Ken­rick Serette (Pa­tri­ot­ic Front).

Last week in its pre­lim­i­nary re­sults, the EBC said in San Fer­nan­do East, the elec­torate was 25,607 with 13,909 vot­ing. Man­ning got 7,026 votes, Al­i­bo­cas re­ceived 6,357 and Ser­rette 490 votes. Over­all, 36 votes were re­ject­ed.

In a me­dia re­lease yes­ter­day, the EBC said Man­ning re­ceived 64 few­er votes with a to­tal of 7017, Al­i­bo­cas al­so re­ceived few­er votes than first cal­cu­lat­ed, mov­ing him from 6,357 to 6344 ,while Ser­rette re­ceived 12 more votes, tak­ing him from 490 to 502.

The num­ber of re­ject­ed bal­lots went from 36 to six.
