Director of Elections, Glasspole Brown, says he’s awaiting details from the legal team on how to treat the ballots for Friday’s by-election in North West St. Andrew, following the withdrawal of independent candidate, Rohan Banks.
Mr. Brown says Mr. Banks’ name has already been printed on the ballots.
Mr. Banks announced his withdrawal from the contest on Tuesday.
He was one of three candidates nominated on November 6, looking to fill the vacancy created by the departure of former Finance Minister, Dr. Nigel Clarke.
The other two are the JLP’s Duane Smith and another independent candidate, Carl Marshall.
Mr. Brown says, to the best of his knowledge, Mr. Banks did not follow the correct process to properly withdraw from the race.
