PNP wins Turks & Caicos by-election
PROVIDEINCIALES, Turks and Caicos Island — The ruling Progressive National Party (PNP) won Friday’s crucial by-election, allowing it to hang on to power with a one-seat majority.
The PNP, led by Premier Dr Rufus Ewing, appeared nervous as it went into the crucial by-election, knowing that a loss would end its term in Government after only four months.
The PNP’s Amanda Missick beat out a strong challenge from Oral Selver of the Opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDM).
Both parties had seven seats each entering the by-election in Cheshire Hall and Richmond Hill, which was voided in February.
