The People's National Party's Desmond Chambers was on Tuesday confirmed as the winner of the Above Rocks division in St Catherine following a magisterial recount of votes cast in last Monday's local government election.
The Jamaica Labour Party's Neil Powell, who requested the recount, emerged from the courthouse before the end of the exercise where he indicated that he accepted defeat.
At the end of the recount Mr Chambers received 849 votes to Mr Powell's 836.
Mr Chambers was represented by attorney-at-law K.D. Knight while his opponent was represented by Tom Tavares-Finson.
