“A Humbling Experience”: Rawdon Turner Reacts to By-Election Victory

Rawdon Turner described his overwhelming victory in the St. Peter by-election as “a humbling experience” and pledged to serve the community that raised him. “This community has spoken, and I am committed to achieving great things with them,” he said after securing 1,674 votes to the UPP’s George Wehner’s 570.

Turner’s grassroots campaign emphasized direct engagement with residents, a strategy he credited for his success.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne applauded Turner’s dedication, noting his consistent advocacy for the constituency even after losing in 2023. The by-election, triggered by the death of MP Asot Michael, saw Turner improve his vote count by 775. He will be sworn into the Cabinet today, with his role yet to be confirmed.
