The opposition PPP/C polled heavily in the community that AFC Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan is from – No.47 Village, Corentyne and surrounding areas.
As in the Whim/Bloomfield area where Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo is from, the PPP/C had solid wins. In constituency three of Rising Sun, No. 47 Village, the Alliance for Change’s (AFC) Devi Bahadoor secured 21 votes while Nagasar Persaud Sookram of the PPP/C notched up 144 votes.

In No. 49-50 South, three-way voting apparently helped APNU. Its candidate Marcia Annetta Lowenfield garnered 46 votes while the PPP/C’s Letitia Elizabeth Cornelius secured 39 votes and the AFC’s Girgawatie Mohan got eight votes. It would mean that the APNU candidate won the constituency by seven votes over the PPP/C candidate.
