Despite suffering a marginal defeat, outgoing Deputy Mayor of Georgetown Alfred Mentore is banking on his selection from the Proportional Representation list for another opportunity to represent his constituents and citizens of Georgetown on the new council.
Mentore, who was elected Deputy Mayor in 2018, suffered a loss to PPP/C’s constituency candidate Alfonso De Armas-Archbold at last month’s Local Government Election in Constituency Four – Lamaha Gardens/Bel Air Park. Mentore had won the constituency in the last two consecutive elections but was beaten by 31 votes. He attained 937 votes while De-Armas-Archbold secured 968 votes. In 2018, with 654 votes, he had secured a whopping 107 more votes from PPP/C’s then candidate Patrick De Santos.
