Arnhim Eustace, leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), which lost the general elections in St Vincent and the Grenadines on Monday by a razor thin one seat margin, said on Tuesday night that there was "widespread evidence" of a "conspiracy to try to defraud" the electorate. He said his party will only accept the results if they adjudged to reflect the will of the Vincentian electorate.Dr Ralph Gonsalves and his Unity Labour Party (ULP) were at the Argyle international airport construction site celebrating their victory in eight of the 15 constituencies when Eustace made a statement at 9 p.m. on Nice Radio, his first public comment since he led his party to a third consecutive loss. The ULP was returned to office for a third consecutive term, although it lost 4 of the 12 seats it held in the last Parliament.While Eustace retained his East Kingstown seat for a fourth consecutive time, he led the NDP to its third straight defeat.He said there were reports of persons voting in constituencies where they do not live and that voters attempted to vote twice, adding that the NDP was particularly concerned about the outcome in two constituencies won by the ULP.Lawyers were considering private criminal complaints against citizens suspected of violating the nation's electoral laws, while the NDP was considering election petitions, he said.He further said that his party will raise its concerns with the Organisation of American States (OAS) and other members of the international community, adding that the NDP "will not take evidence of cheating lying down".
