P.U.P. files another Election Petition

Since the elections on March seventh that ended seventeen to fourteen in favor of the U.D.P., the People’s United Party announced that it would be filing several election petitions. On Wednesday, the P.U.P.’s Martin Galvez filed a petition against Mark King in Lake Independence at the Supreme Court. A petition is also being filed against Albert Representative, Herman Longsworth. The P.U.P. believes that Longsworth has a contract with the government for the fence at the Marion Jones Stadium which was not disclosed before he ran for office. According to the law, all contracts must be declared one month before elections.  There are two additional petitions to be filed in respect of Cayo Central where Collet Montejo lost by seventeen votes and in Cayo Northeast, where Orlando Habet lost by forty-four votes. In both cases, recounts were denied and the P.U.P. claims bribery was also involved. This Friday, a ruling will be made in respect of another petition, which involves Yolanda Schakron’s rejection on nomination day.
