But most importantly, he was able to show the people of St. Peter that he had a plan for the constituency. That is the level of commitment that Turner has for the constituency and the people have rewarded him with a victory,” said Prime Minister Browne.

After seven boxes, Turner secured 1152 votes, while his opponent, George Wehner for the opposition United Progressive Party gained 401 votes.
The by-election was called by Prime Minister Gaston Browne following the sudden passing of former representative Asot Michael. (Ends)
