Sharie de Castro received 4778 votes; Nelville Sheep Smith- 4694; Shereen Flax-Charles- 4033; and Carvin Malone- 3936.
The VIP At-Large candidates, Neville ‘Sheep’ Smith, Sharie de Castro, Shereen Flax-Charles and Carvin Malone made a clean sweep of the battle for the territorial seats.
Chairman of the VIP, Hon. Andrew Fahie retained District One, Kye Rymer won District Five, Dr. Natalio ‘Sowande Uhuru’ Wheatley won the District Seven seat and Vincent Wheatley was successful in his bid for District Nine.
