WATCH:Randy Baltimore Wins St Phillip’s North Primary
Baltimore won by an overwhelming number of votes. 423 to be extact.
Four candidates vied for the spot, which is now being held by Sir Robin Yearwood Snr.
Undoubtedly, Baltimore will have major shoes to fill, as Yearwood has decades of victories under his belt and has never lost a general election.
His son, Robin Yearwood Jr hoped to walk in his father’s footsteps but Baltimore, who was seen campaigning heavily on the ground now has that task
Residents say much of Yearwood Snr was not seen in the constituency
