La Horquetta/Talparo By-election

[D Diesel Report]

So we know its coming!

Marlene has been appointed in place of Maxie, first sign he isn't coming back to serve.

Next step is to announce he decided that he isn't going up anymore and Rohan will contest the seat.

So let's get the thread started.

What madness do yall think going to happen on the campaign trail?
Who do you think the other parties are going to put up?
Who do you think will win and by how much?
What do you think the final results would say to the parties that won/lost?


Iwer say the Madness start for the Savannah, but I think for the next elections coming up, that's really when the madness start!

Let's hear what everyone thinks!

Well based on this scientific poll it seems that a lot of people want this. I guess we will see when the by-election hits. Perhaps Rowley is waiting for his Finance Minister to announce some goodies in an amended budget before he does so.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

so how long does it take before the by-election is announced?

[D Diesel Report]

We will hear the announcement for the by-election by the end of March. Allyuh get ready for an amazing April!

[Dizzy28]

so how long does it take before the by-election is announced?

Within 90 days of death one has to be held.

[hydroep]

It would be interesting if it turns out that the man has been dead for longer than that and the Prime Minister has just been playing for time...

[Dizzy28]

Isn't Maxie in at the Walter Reed National Military Centre??
That's a US Military facility, I doubt one can just walk in to there.

Had this been a UNC member in this state. The PNM media houses would have tracked him down and they would have given update infor. They would tell you what meds he's on and when last his bed Pan was changed.

But this is PNM media houses.

[De Dragon]

Especially those morons in La Horquetta/Talparo who voted for him.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

ent gerald ramdeen d represent a dead man....well it's vice versa with this seat

[D Diesel Report]

Based on the votes, it's looking like UNC is taking it by a mile. Even with the PNM and PEP votes combined are not able to match it. And the poor COP, who was strong as ever in 2010, not even a single vote so far.

I wonder how the PNM will react with a grand loss. Will they see it as all their other seats as 'waiting seats' before they are lost in the next general?

Hmmm....

Dont be too surprised that PNM wins this . PNM afro voters rather eat grass that see a supposedly indo government running a country well

I guess they are learning well from their successful neighbours in Haiti. Never amount to anything but at least live knowing at least one of your race 'made it'.
