P.U.P. Maintains Hold Over Toledo East in Decisive Victory

The People’s United Party is celebrating another landslide victory after soundly defeating its political opponents in a by-election for the Toledo East constituency on Wednesday.  Several weeks of active campaigning saw three politicians, including Doctor Osmond Martinez, Dennis Williams and Wil Maheia, canvassing an area of the district to gain the support of voters.  When the final ballot was counted, former C.E.O. Martinez had cemented his victory by a wide margin.  Official results shared by the Elections and Boundaries Commission this morning indicate that the P.U.P. candidate trounced the more formidable of his opponents by a ratio of three-to-one.  Seventy percent of the four thousand, six hundred and seventy votes cast were in favor of Doctor Martinez whose stronghold appears to be Bella Vista Village.  He garnered three thousand, two hundred and sixty-nine votes.  By contrast, the United Democratic Party candidate, Dennis Williams, received one thousand, one hundred and fifty-nine votes, while P.N.P. candidate Wil Maheia turned in a meager two hundred and two votes.  The voter turnout for the by-election stood at a little over sixty percent.  With the resounding victory, the People’s United Party maintains its hold over Toledo East.
