“I make that pronouncement on the basis of the overwhelming evidence of deliberate deceit, because the Supervisor of Elections is acutely aware of the facts presented to him. And the evidence on the final count coincides with all the issues I brought before him,” said Cummings on Monday. He said that now is the time for civil society led by the Christian Council to speak up.

“Given the …evidence about corruption and illegal acts, I Daniel Cummings today await the statements from the so-called Christian Council in this country.

“Ralph Gonsalves and his government know that they did not win North Leeward, West Kingstown, … Central Kingstown. They know they did not win those three constituencies.

“It is incumbent on those people not to take up those seats. It is incumbent if they love this country to do the right and honourable thing.”

Cummings said though officially he lost the seat he is the duly elected representative of West Kingstown.
