Will his­to­ry be cre­at­ed in the mar­gin­al seat of San Fer­nan­do West, to­day?

This is the be­lief of Leader of The Na­tion­al Par­ty Valmi­ki Ram­s­ingh, who is hop­ing to wres­tle the seat from the tra­di­tion­al par­ties.

Proud­ly show­ing his vot­ing fin­ger af­ter cast­ing his vote at San Fer­nan­do Boys Gov­ern­ment School, Ram­s­ingh said the process was smooth. But he not­ed there seemed to be an is­sue with the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion num­bers on the polling cars. Over­all, Ram­s­ingh said the Elec­tions and Bound­aries Com­mis­sion has to sort out a few is­sues with the elec­toral process for can­di­dates.

Com­plain­ing that his name was in­cor­rect­ly rep­re­sent­ed as Ram­per­sad in an EBC ad­ver­tise­ment on Sun­day, Ram­s­ingh said af­ter the elec­tions, he would be able to de­ter­mine whether the er­ror had an im­pact on his votes.

How­ev­er, he con­firmed that his name was cor­rect­ly print­ed on the bal­lot pa­per.
