The People’s National Party’s (PNP) Peter Bunting has kept his electoral record intact after securing a less-than-easy win over Danville Walker in what was always expected to be a close contest in Central Manchester.

Running on the ticket of the PNP, Bunting polled 10,481 votes to hold off Walker, the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) standard bearer, who polled 10,042 votes.
