*** The 2025 GENERAL ELECTION thread***

[hover11]

I think this the first time we have to wait so long for official figures. Also since we had a lower voter turnout than in 2020 and they got the numbers out in the middle of covid but can't now, something seems fishy

Nah official numbers don’t be out so quick in my memory. It’s always after recounts. It’s just the social media instant age making it feel long. Historically if election on a Monday …. Official numbers as in total votes per candidate usually all Thursday in the papers.
Before that we just have seats as declared by parties

Joe,

I have a bone to pick with you, you mentioned kamla looked old and frail yet the ppl chose her over a young vibrant opponent, I guess it shows age shouldn't matter when it comes to representation. Ppl were not voting based on the individuals but rather their material conditions

[Redress10]

Marvin say he win by 500 or so

that's my constituency- it look like the only 1 with figures on picong party site- but not all vote in it seems

That's not fair Dr.chaitan-maharaj put in more work than Marvin did, ppl like mediocrity yes

Yes she did

Look even redress admit it.....i watched that woman put in some serious work and admired her. Arouca ppl never had good representation before and they finally were about to get the recognition they deserved and threw it away.....anyway enjoy Marvin who telling allya that you eating too much macaroni pie.

I thought your seat was Camille? Which part you live?

My seat is Camille but I conduct business in five rivers and arouca with my clients I have seen the work that the doctor has done and I have seen the shite Marvin has done. If that's what the ppl want who am I to judge

I told her she if she had another week or 2 again she would have won. I said the same thing about D'abadie/Mausica.

[bluefete]

Singapore she gone before elections.

This is 25,511 more votes than in 2020, which was previously the highest number of votes received by the UNC.
It is also 12,985 more votes that the PNM received in 2020.
Therefore, the voter turnout increased for the UNC, by just over 8 percent.
---
However for the PNM, in 2025, it received only 224,414 votes.
This is 97,766 less votes than they received in 2020.
In other words, voter turnout for the PNM decreased by over 30%.
It is the lowest number of votes that the PNM has received since 1986, almost 40 years ago.

Opinions and anuses we all have one. My opinion is still that she’s too frail for the position but that’s not the only determining factor in an election and everyone opinion won’t be mine …. I’m ok with that and genuinely hopes she does well

[sMASH]

Correct

Unc coulda get arima too without vote splitting

PNM got 7055 votes. UNC got 6356. If you add Patriotic Front 520 you still short. Also add NTA 152 and still short.

Only 49.19% of Arima turn up to vote. Penny was lucky that enough pnm voters came out for her and not necessarily Stuart.

Keep in mind persons who voted for the third parties was aware UNC was on the ballot and didn't choose them. So if the third parties didn't contest, UNC would have gotten a fraction of those voters, and the rest would not have voted and stay home which is the trend in the constituency and nationally.

[pugboy]

ppl over analyzing this election
